What is BIOS setup?

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
BIOS setup is a program that helps the user set up a hardware environment, including
memory, hard disks, and floppy disk drives.
Minimum setup has already been installed on this personal computer when you purchase it.
BIOS must be set up under the following circumstances:
- When a storage unit, such as a floppy disk drive or a built-in hard disk (IDE), is mounted or
removed
- When a password permitting specific users to access the PC is set
- When memory or serial ports are set up
- When the power savings mode is released or changed (to put in standby mode when power
is on but PC is not used)
- When a message requesting BIOS setup is displayed
- When another Operating System (OS) is used
Point
Contents selected in BIOS setup are stored in the PC internal memory called CMOS RAM,
which stores recorded contents using batteries. If an error message indicating BIOS setup is
displayed when the PC is turned on or rebooted even if BIOS setup is completed correctly, the
setup contents will not be stored in this CMOS RAM if the batteries are dead.
