5.1 BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW
The 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.
The 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 diagnostics on 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 includes some options. Use the [Up/Down] arrow key to highlight the option that you
wish to modify, and then press the [Enter] key to select the option and configure the functions.
