The BIOS settings are stored in battery-backed RAM that retains the system
configuration information when the power is turned off. An onboard EEPROM
is also provided to allow for batteryless operation and to reinitialize the
CMOS settings if they become corrupted. The system BIOS automatically
restores the BIOS settings if it sees that the CMOS values are corrupted.
