4.1 BIOS Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input/ Output System) is a program located on a Flash Memory on the
motherboard. When you start the computer, the BIOS program will gain control. The BIOS
first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self-test) for all the necessary
hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the
hardware synchronization.
