System BIOS
_______________________________
The system BIOS provides an interface for the software to
control the hardware and is recorded in a ROM (Read Only Memory)
chip. Upon power-up, it will also carry out a thorough diagnostic test to
make sure the system is functional. It will initialize the chipset with
setting stored in the CMOS RAM.
Then it proceeds to load the disk operating system and you can
start to work with your applications.
In this supplementary, it mainly explains the BIOS Setup Utility,
in which you can set up your system to suit your configuration and
applications. In case you have any doubt, consult your dealer.
Improper setting may cause reliability problem or system failure.
