Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)
The Basic Input Output System, usually referred to as BIOS, is software stored on a small memory chip on the
motherboard.
BIOS instruct the computer on how to perform a number of basic functions such as booting and keyboard control.
BIOS is also used to identify and configure the hardware in a computer such as the hard drive, optical drive, CPU,
memory, etc.
The BIOS is accessed and configured through the BIOS Setup Utility. The BIOS Setup Utility is, for all reasonable
purposes, the BIOS itself. All available options in BIOS are configurable via the BIOS Setup Utility. The BIOS Setup Utility
is accessed in various ways depending on your computer or motherboard make and model.
BIOS access and configuration on PC systems is independent of any operating system because the BIOS is part of the
motherboard hardware. It doesn't matter if a computer is running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Linux, Unix,
or no operating system at all - BIOS functions outside of the operating system environment and is no way dependent
upon it.
BIOS contain a number of hardware configuration options that can be changed through 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. The following list shows the things you can do in most BIOS systems:

1. Change the Boot Order 10. Enable or Disable the Computer Logo
2. Load BIOS Setup Defaults 11. Enable or Disable the Quick Power On Self-Test (POST)
3. Remove a BIOS Password 12. Enable or Disable the CPU Internal Cache
4. Create a BIOS Password 13. Enable or Disable the Caching of BIOS
5. Change the Date and Time 14. Change CPU Settings
6. Change Floppy Drive Settings 15. Change Memory Settings
7. Change Hard Drive Settings 16. Change System Voltages
8. Change CD/DVD/BD Drive Settings 17. Change the Boot Up NumLock Status
9. View Amount of Memory Installed
