BIOS is in English "Basic Input Output System" of acronyms,
after translation from the Chinese name is "Basic Input Output
System." Its full name should be the ROM-BIOS, which means read-only
memory basic input output system. In fact, it is a motherboard inside the computer on
the solidified into a ROM chip on the program, which maintains the most important
computer basic input output program, system settings, turn on the Power On Self Test
program and system bootstrap program. Some people think that since the BIOS is the
"process", then it must belong to the software feels like its
popular Word or Excel. But many people do not think so, because it is there are some
general differences between the software and link it with the hardware is considerably
closer. Figuratively speaking, BIOS should be connected software program and
hardware equipment, a "bridge" to resolve the hardware for
real-time requirements. Superior performance or a motherboard, BIOS program
largely depends on the reasonableness of management functions, advanced. BIOS
chip on the motherboard may be the only labeled on the motherboard chip, generally
it is a 32-pin DIP integrated circuits, printed above the "BIOS"
words. 586 more than the previous BIOS for the rewritable EPROM chips, the label
played the role of content protection BIOS (EPROM contents of ultraviolet radiation
will lose), can not be easily removed. After more than 586 ROM BIOS used
EEPROM (electrical erasable read-only ROM), switches and systems by jumper with
belt driver disk, EEPROM can be rewritten and conveniently BIOS upgrade.
Common BIOS chips have Award, AMI, Phoenix, MR, etc., can be seen in the chip
maker's mark.

The main function of BIOS are the following:

First, self-test and initial program: computer power supply connected, the system will
have an internal process of checking each device, which is usually called by a POST
(Power On Self Test / Power On Self Test) of process to complete, which is a function
of BIOS program. Complete self test includes a CPU, 640K base memory, 1M or
more extended memory, ROM, motherboard, CMOS memory, serial and parallel,
display cards, soft keyboard, hard disk subsystem and testing. If it is found in self-test
process issues, the system will give prompt information or whistle a warning. If there
is no problem, complete the self-test will be in accordance with the system after the
BIOS CMOS settings in the boot sequence search software, hard drive and CDROM,
network servers and other valid boot drive, read into the operating system boot record,
then the system control to the boot records, from the boot record to complete the
system startup, you can safely use your treasures. Second, the hardware interrupt
processing: computer boot time, BIOS will tell the CPU and other hardware interrupt
number, when you enter the operation using a hardware command, it will interrupt
number according to the appropriate hardware to use to complete orders work, and
finally suspended in accordance with its original state number will jump. Another is
the process service requests: the definition from the BIOS and the computer can know
it is always the 输入 output devices deal with it through the most specific data
Duankou issue Zhi Ling, Fa Songhuo receiving the data types Waibu equipment in
order to achieve software Ying Yong program on hardware operation.

CMOS is "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor"
acronym, translated intention is complementary metal oxide semiconductor memory,
refers to a large-scale manufacture of raw materials used in integrated circuit chip.
But here the exact meaning of CMOS is present, most computers use a
battery-powered RAM chips can read and write. The BIOS, meaning we have already
explained before. So, CMOS and BIOS in the end what does it matter? CMOS is a
memory chip is of course the hardware, its role is a data storage function, but it also
can play a role in memory, not on the data stored in one set, to the various parameters
of the CMOS settings set by a special procedure is necessary. Most manufacturers
now the parameters of the CMOS setup program to do a BIOS chip in the computer
when power is turned by a special key into the setup program can easily set up the
system. That is the system BIOS in the CMOS setup program is complete parameter
setting means, and set the CMOS RAM is a good data storage place, they all
parameter settings of the computer system has a lot. For this reason, there? Quot;
CMOS settings "and" BIOS settings "two arguments,
in fact, accurate to say should be" through the BIOS setup program to set
parameters on CMOS ". BIOS and CMOS are both associated with another
difference,    "CMOS        settings"       and     "BIOS
Settings" for we simplify the setup process on the two it is called, in this
sense means they are one thing.

CMOS memory chip can be powered by the motherboard's battery, even if
the system power-down, the stored data will not be lost. Remove the battery if what
happens then? Good question! If the battery is no electricity, or sudden contact with a
problem, or you take him down, then the CMOS will be lost because of power failure
and internal storage of all data. This happens only if there is not so big problem, you
can replace the battery, or inspect the reasons for poor contact, a word to ensure
CMOS has power. Re-boot into the BIOS program, select the main menu
"LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS" or "LOAD SETUP
DEFAULTS" after the carriage return, and finally determine the input
"Y" press Enter. We may have heard other players talked about
the power-on password if forgotten to say give CMOS discharge, in fact, that is to
include all lost information, including passwords, are not required to enter a password
at boot time, and again re-write.
