 Lesson 1
Performing BIOS Configuration

Learning Competencies:

LO 1. Perform BIOS configuration in accordance with hardware requirements

(TLE_IACSS9- 12ICCS-Ia-e-28)

Objectives: 1. Identify the basic functions of BIOS

2. Identify the processed in BIOS system
3. Discuss the steps to access BIOS/Perform BIOS Configuration

Let’s Explore and Discover

In Module 4, you learned how to assemble and diassemble a computer hardware. You
learned about the tools and components needed and the set procedures to follow to ensure
SAFETY in doing unit assembly.

In this module, you will learn about a computer’s software. What is the integral
machinery that makes our computer intuitive? Do you want to know the answer? Prepare
your personal computer/PC, press the POWER Button and let’s meet BIOS!

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Each and every time you press your PC’s power button, the BIOS is the first operation
to load your operating system and all of the personal settings that make your computer
your own.

For better understanding, take note of the following definition of terms.

A. BIOS- stands for BASIC INPUT/OTPUT SYSTEM, is software stored on a small

memory chip on the motherboard. It’s BIOS that’s responsible for the POST and
therefore makes it the very first software to run when a computer is started.
Moreover, it is the built-in core processor software responsible for booting up your
system.

BIOS is pronounced as by-oss and is sometimes referred to as the System BIOS,

ROM BIOS, or PC BIOS. However, it’s also INCORRECTLY referred to as Basic
Integrated Operating System or Built-In Operating System.

1
 What is the BIOS used for?

BIOS instructs the computer on how to perform basic functions such as

booting and keyboard cotrol.

BIOS is also used to identify abd configure the hardware in a computer such
as the hard drive, floppy drive, optical drive, CPU, memory, and related
equipment.

B. Configuration- is the way a system is set up, or the assortment of components that
make up the system. Configuration can also refer to either hardware or software, or
the combination of both.

C. Boot up- (verb) to become ready for use; to become loaded into a computer’s memory
from disk

D. Reboot- to start up again/restart after closing or shutting down: to boot up again

E. Startup- the act or an instance of setting in operation or motion

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT BIOS

As your PC’s most important startup program, BIOS is a built-in core processor
software responsible for booting up your system.

Typically embedded into your computer as a motherboard chip, the BIOS functions as
a catalyst for PC functionality action.

Programmed on an erasable, programmable, read-only memory (EPROM) chip, BIOS is

stored on this memory chip which retains data when the power source is switched off. When
the PC is powered back on, BIOS retrieves that same stored data.

The BIOS system is also responsible for managing data flow between your computer’s
operating system and any attached devices including a hard drive, keyboard, video adapter,
printer, or mouse.

Each time you power your PC on, BIOS runs through a process called Power-On Self-
Test, or POST, that determines whether your attached devices are operating correctly and
are in the proper place.

Once attachments are allocated and given the OK, your computer startup continues as
usual and takes you to your load screen in a matter of seconds.

If BIOS detects any problems, an error screen will appear or a series of beep codes will
sound effectively indicating to you that somethings has gone wrong.

 NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN BIOS TECHNOLOGY

BIOS software has existed within computers since the 1980s and has made plenty of
leaps and strides when it comes to effiency and improvement. However, with rapid speed of
technological evolution, BIOS has become outdated and presents a number of roadblocks
for today’s technology.

Newer Pcs capabale of handling several terabytes of storage prove to be too complex for
weaker BIOS software. Limited to 16-bit processor modes and booting drives of 2.1 TB or
less, newer computers are usually equipped with 3TB drives or more.

Thus, the UEFI was born out of necessity for higher-powered booting. The new standard
of BIOS accommodates the limitations the old BIOS system couldn’t work around. UEFI, or
Unified Extended Firmware Interface Forum, can run in 32-bit or 64-bit modes and
theoretically handle drives up to 9.4 zettabytes.

Not only is UEFI a BIOS replacement, but it also functions as mini operating system
that runs on top of your PC’s integrated firmware.

In essence, whether your computer is powered on by BIOS or UEFI, it is this software

that you can count on for fast boot times and proper processing functionality. Being able to
access your PC’s BIOS allows you to perform regular maintenance for healthy computer
upkeep.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF BIOS

Now that you understand what BIOS is, let’s dive into what it really does for your desktops,
laptops, and tablets. BIOS functionality can be broken down into four key responsibilities.

A. POST- an acronym for the Power-On Self Test that your PC runs through the moment
you turn it on. POST tests the hardware of your PC and ensures that there is nothing out
of order and no errors present with your operating system.

B. CMOS Setup- your PC stores all low-level settings like system time and hardware
configuration within CMOS. This means that every change you make to your BIOS structure
is saved on this special memory chip called the CMOS or Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor. The CMOS setup is responsible for setting your password, time, and date.

C. Bootstrap Loader- this refers to the program that lives within your computer’s ROM,
the boostrap loader is tasked with reading your PC’s hard drive boot sector to move along
the complete operating system load.

D. BIOS Drivers-refer to many programs stored in your computer’s many memory chips.
These low-level drivers are used to boot your system and prompt basic operational controls
on your PC.

 HOW TO ACCESS BIOS?

The BIOS is accessed and configured through the BIOS Setup Utility. The BIOS Setup Utility
is, for all practical purposes, the BIOS itself. All available options in BIOS are configurable
through the BIOS Setup Utility. Unlike an operating system like Windows, which is often
downloaded or obtained on a disc and needs to be installed by the user or manufacturer,
BIOS comes installed from the moment the machine is manufactured.

The BIOS Setup Utility is accessed in various ways depending on your computer or
motherboard’s model.

How to enter BIOS in Windows 10?

When you’ve run into an annoying computer bug or need to modify CPU hardware for a
newly upgraded processor, you will need access to your computer BIOS.

Laptops with Windows 10 and PCs make accessing, checking, and updating your BIOS a
breeze by offering two easy methods to achieve the results you’re aiming for. Let’s
breakdown both methods.

Method #1: Use hotkey during boot-up

It may be too quick for you to have ever noticed, but your PC goes through a rapid POST
process to get your startup screen loaded up as fast as it can. It is also within this tightly
timed window that you can access your BIOS by clicking your PC’s designated hotkey.

Unfortunately, different PC brands were all on different pages when designating a definitive
BIOS key. HP Laptops generally use F10 or the ESC (escape key).

DEL and F2 tend to be the most popular hotkeys for PCs, but if you’re unsure of what your
brand’s hotkey is, below is a list of common BIOS keys by brand:

Pressing your assigned BIOS Keys while your computer boots ups should retrieve the BIOS
Setup utility screen you’re looking for.

Some manufacturers require repeated hotkey presses, and some require another button
to be pressed in addition to the hotkey. To best equip yourself with the most accurate
information, check with your PC’s user manual or the manufacturer’s website.

Method #2: Use Windows 10’s Start Menu

As computers have become more technologically advanced than ever, they boot up in seconds before
our eyes. This leaves little room for pressing any hotkeys and canleave those looking to get into their
BIOS setings puzzled.

For PC users who aren’t able to catch that tiny window to use their hotkey, this method of entering
BIOS can be completed through your computer’s settings.
4
 STEP PROCESS

Step 1. Access your Navigate to your Windows Start Menu and select
Windows Settings “Settings” located on the left panel. You can also access
your Windows by using Windows shortcut keys Windows
+I.

Step 2. Select “Update Within this window, you may need to scroll down to find
& Security” the “Update & Security” button.

Step 3. Select Select “Recovery”

“Recovery”

Step 4. Click “Restart Under “Advanced startup” you will see a “Restart now”
now” button that allows you to reboot your PC for configuration
or restoration.

After your boots back up, you will be met with a special
menu that gives you the option to “Use a device,”
“Continue,” “Turn off your PC,” or “Troubleshoot.”

Step 5. Select Within this window, select “Advanced options” then select
“Troubleshoot” “UEFI Firmware Settings.” This will allow you to enter
BIOS on your Windows 10 PC.

Step 6. Confirm your If your PC is running Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, these

restart methods will also work for your older operating system.

I CAN’T ACCESS BIOS, WHAT DO I DO?

If you’re still struggling to figure out how to enter BIOS on your Windows 10 desktop
computer, you may find yourself somewhat disappointed and irritated. But no worries
because fortunately we’ve got what you need! Try these two troubleshooting methods to gain
access into your BIOS.

Troubleshoot Method #1: Disable fast startup

If your PC is powering on too quickly for you to know when to press your BIOS hotkey, your
timing may be keeping you from accessing your PC’s BIOS.

To slow down your boot time and open your window for hotkey pressing, you will need to
disable fast startup. To do this:

1. Locate “Power options” in your control panel,

5
2. Press “Choose what the power button does” in the left panel (you’ll see that the shutdown
settings are all grayed out and unavailable for modification),

3. Press “Change settings that are currently available” located above the power button and
lid settings (this will allow you to uncheck or check boxes to modify your shutdown settings),

4. Uncheck “Turn on fast startup” and

5. Try restarting your PC and entering BIOS with your hotkey again.

Troubleshoot Method #2: Use an emergency boot disk

In the case that your PC refuses to enter BIOS or gives you the blue screen, you could be
faced with boot failure. In order to access to BIOS, you can try utilizing an emergency boot
disc to bring your PC back to life via USB drive.

Once the UBS Drive boots up, you should be able to select a boot device at the startup.

1. Click “Repair your computer” instead of the centered “Install now” button

2. Click “Troubleshoot”

3. Click “UEIF Firmware Settings”

4. Click “Restart”

If nothing works, you may need to resort to finding a computer repair specialist in your area
to help solve your issues.

HOW TO CONFIGURE BIOS SETTINGS?

BIOS stand for Basis Input/Output System which is the first software that is loaded by the
PC and prepares the PC for loading the Operating System. It finds all the hardware
components of the PC and it becomes possible for the PC to load the OS.

Updating BIOS is a critical work, since it requires lots of careful implementation of steps.
Before installing the upgrades for BIOS, one must first understand that when BIOS is
updating, the computer has to keep running. If due to any technical reason like voltage
variation, load management or the low battery, and the computer shuts down while the
BIOS is being updated, the computer will shut down immediately and it won’t be able to
boot again. Therefore, while the updates is installing, one must check that laptop or desktop
is not only powered by battery but also connected to the main power as well. Hence, if the
light blacks out, the battery power can back up the machine, or if it is a computer, one
must make sure that a UPS is connected to the computer because in case of black out, the
UPS’ battery can be consumed by the machine and therefore it won’t shutdown.

The first thing is to check the current version of BIOS. The simplest way to find so is by
typing msinfo32 in the search bar of windos or the run box. By clicking at the system
summary, the BIOS version would be shown and it would be under processor speed. Here
the user can note the BIOS version. After doing that, second step is to check for the BIOS
updates at the manufacturer’s website. Mostly manufacturers create and stote BIOS
6
updates according to the models of motherboard. Therefore, one should proceed to the
website and search for the update.

The BIOS settings can be considered using the following ways:

Boot Sequence: In every computer, a default boot sequence is set up already by all the
manufacturers. But if someone wants to change the order in which the booting takes place,
one can change the boot sequence himself as well. He can modify the list according to the
priorities he needs them to be booted from. The list can be modified by simply going into
the PC’s BIOS menu and changing the order. By default, a computer naturally looks for the
removable devices, like the CD, and DVD. If there some operating system in those removable
devices, computer will load it although it’s just a setup. But if there is nothing there,
computer will load it. So, the user can set the arrangements and set up the priority as he
feels is better for him and can keep changing it time by time.

Enabling and Disabling: If the devices user wants to enable or disable are plug and play
types, he can do some simple steps. For enabling the device, one can click at “Start”, and
then at “My Computer”, click at “Manage”. The “Computer Management window will open
up: there the device manager can be found. Once device manager is found, one can click at
“My Device” (which is being shown as enabled) and can right click on it and can disable the
device. Same thing for the devices that disabled. Users can just right click at disabled
devices and can enable them manually.

Date/Time: Setting up date and time has two methods. While setting up windows, one
should set up the date and time too according to the time zone they are living in. Also, one
can simply adjust the time by simply clicking at the task bar. The time is shown at the right
lower side of the task bar, by clicking on it, one should click at “Adjust Time” and hence the
time problem can be fixed.

Clock speeds: For over clocking, one can use BIOS settings. But before that, one should
have some gadgets. First, one needs an unlocked processor, Intel’s K series processors are
specially designed for this. Second, an over clocking friendly motherboard. Third, software
for monitoring the speed of clock, CPU-Z will do the trick. Fourth one is the software for the
street test. Software’s like AID64 and LinX will serve well for the purpose. After ensuring
presence of all, one should do the following steps;

1. Restart the computer and enter BIOS by pressing whatever key the computer asks
for. Locate the “Load Optimized Defaults” or something naming similar, and select it to
restore the default settings. Now press “SAVE CHANGES” and “EXIT”. When the computer
is done rebooting, start up the “Stress testing Software, i.e. AIDA64 and chose Stability
System Test. Run the test and leave computer for 2-3 hours. When test is done, close the
window and reboot system again.

2. Enter the BIOS again and locate the overclocking settings/CPU Tweaker. Look for
“CPU Ratio”, it would probably be Auto, change it to the step above the default. i.e. CPUs
with 3.4 GHz clock speed will show 34, so set it to 35. After this, save settings and restart
again.

3.Check CPU-Z to see if the settings are applied already. Check for temperature and
start the stress test again. The test will have one of the three results, it will be successful
with safe temperature, blue screen will appear or the temperature will shoot up unsafe. If

7
test was successful, again increase the multiplayer in BIOS. If blue screen came, means
voltage in BIOS. And repeat the stress test till it’s successful. If temperature reached unsafe
level, means the computer needs some additional cooling fans.

Visualization support: To enable the virtualization, one can proceed to BIOS. Locate for
the Advanced Tab and under CPU configuration, look for virtualization technology. This
option is usually disabled by default and one can enable it from there.

BIOS security (passwords, drive encryption, lo-jack, TPM): BIOS security can be set in the
following manners:

1. Passwords: Enter BIOS configuration by pressing the key computer asks for. Look for
security Tab and by pressing enter, one can find three types of password which are set here.
There would be superior password (To use BIOS with the password in the future), User
Password (To get security from unauthorized access) and the Hard Disk password (For
security of HDD).

2. One can use drive encryption. For doing that, simply go to control panel, under System
and Security, slick at Bit Locker for Encryption. Here one can see drives and it would be
mentioned “Turn on Bit Locker Drive Encryption” click on that to turn it on.

3. Lojack, is software which acts like a tracker. One can download this software from
the website and install it on computer. In case the computer is stolen, the company can
track the computer’s location even if the hard disk has been wiped clean.

4. The TPM chip has to be enabled in BIOS to get utilized. One should get to the BIOS,
under Security or TPM Security; they will find the option to enable to disable the TPM. But
if the TPM is already enabled and active, it’s better to not to clear it unless the data stored
in it is unwanted. Restart the computer saving the changes.

PROCESSES IN BIOS SYSTEM

BIOS supports several hardware configuration options that can be changed thorugh
the setup utility. Saving these changes and restarting the computer applies the changes to
the BIOS and alters the way BIOS instructs the hardware to function.

Here are some common things you can do in most BIOS systems:
