4-1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter will show you the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system. The PPC-360 Panel PC is equipped with the BIOS
for system chipset from Award Software Inc. This page briefly explains the
function of the BIOS in managing the special features of your system. The
following pages describe how to use the BIOS for system chipset Setup
menu.
Your application programs (such as word processing, spreadsheets, and
games) rely on an operating system such as DOS or OS/2 to manage such
things as keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and memory.
The operating system relies on the BIOS (Basic Input and Output system), a
program stored on a ROM (Read-only Memory) chip, to initialize and
configure your computer's hardware. As the interface between the hardware
and the operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic changes to
your system's hardware without having to write a new operating system.
The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships between the
system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and application program:
