3. 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.

4. Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)
 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.

6. Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)
 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.

7. Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)
 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.

8. Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)
 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:
