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 indoing 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.
