BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) includes a CMOS SETUP utility which allows users to configure
required setting or to activate certain system features.The CMOS SETUP saves the configuration in the
CMOS SRAM on the main board. When the power is off, the battery on the main board supplies the necessary
power to the CMOS SRAM.
When the power is on, pressing the <Delete> button during the BIOS POST (Power-On Self Test) will take you
to the CMOS SETUP screen. When setting up BIOS for the first time, it is recommended that you save the
current BIOS to a disk in the event that BIOS needs to be reset to its original settings.
Q-Flash allows the users to quickly and easily update or backup BIOS without entering the operating system.
BIOS is a Windows-based utility that doesn’t require users to boot to DOS before upgrading BIOS but directly
download and update BIOS from the Internet.
