BIOS will support for Windows Plug and Play. The
CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system

you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that

The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure
that you understand the Setup Utility options.
