3-2 Chapter 3
Fig 3-1 BIOS Setup main menu
In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options.
We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this
chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may
use here:
" Press Esc to quit the BIOS Setup.
" Press
↑↓→←
(up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu,
the option you want to confirm or to modify.
" Press F10 when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to
save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu.
" Press Page Up/Page Down or +/- keys when you want to modify the
BIOS parameters for the active option.
CMOS DATA
Maybe you have heard somebody saying that their CMOS
DATA was lost. What is the CMOS? Is it important? The
CMOS is the memory used to store the BIOS parameters that
you have configured. This memory is passive. You can read
its data, and you can also store data in it. But this memory
has to be powered by a battery, in order to avoid any loss of
its data when the computer is turned off. Since you may have
to change the CMOS battery when it is out of power and if
doing so, you will loose all CMOS data, therefore, we
recommend that you write down all the parameters of your
hardware, or to put a label with these parameters on your
hard disk.
