Computer Knowledge: CMOS Data
Maybe you have heard somebody saying that his or her 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.

time to display all the items that can be chosen for that option.
