Chapter2
Your computer has a configuration program, called SETUP,
contained within the BIOS ROM (basic input/ output system
read-only memory) chip on the system board. The BIOS ROM
also contains default configuration settings for your hardware
configuration, security options, and power-saving features that
SETUP allows you to change. Any configuration information
you set is backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you
turn off or reset the computer.
You may also want to install drivers and utilities for the built-in
IDE interfaces and the built-in SVGA video interface. You only
need to install these drivers if you’re using an operating system
other than Windows.
