6.3.1.5 Memory
Parity adds an extra bit (odd or even) to the 8-
bit data-string to ensure data integrity in
memory modules. Its successor, ECC,
provides improved data integrity by adding
information about individual bits.
6.3.1.6 Boot Sequence
This setting is used to control the order that the
BIOS uses during the boot process to look for

The Date and Time is set in the BIOS, stored in
CMOS, and maintained by CMOS battery.
6.3.1.8 Passwords
In most cases a user (startup) password and a
supervisor (setup) password can be set in the
CMOS. When a Setup password is required,
the computer will prompt for it when you try to

prompt for it at every startup.
The CMOS password can be reset by shorting
