Standard CMOS Setup

“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system
clock and error handling. If the board is already installed in a working
system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the
Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware
configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in
the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.
