4.1BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW
BIOS is a program used to initialize and set up the I/O system
of the computer, which includes the ISA bus and connected
devices such as the video display, diskette drive, and the
keyboard.
This BIOS provides a menu-based interface to the console
subsystem. The console subsystem contains special
software, called firmware, that interacts directly with the
hardware components and facilitates interaction between the
system hardware and the operating system.
The BIOS default values ensure that the system will function at
its normal capability. In the worst situation the user may have
corrupted the original settings set by the manufacturer.
After the computer is turned on, the BIOS will perform a
diagnostics of the system and display the size of the memory
that is being tested. Press the [Del] key to enter the BIOS Setup
program, and then the main menu will show on the screen.
The BIOS Setup main menu exists nine options. Use the
[Up/Down] arrow key to highlight the option that you wish to
modify, and then press the [Enter] key to assure the option and
configure the functions.
