Most computers have a keystroke (usually esc, del, or F12) that will interrupt the boot sequence when you start your computer. In the past, this would be when the white text flies across the screen displaying memory available, hard disk sizes, etc. This will get you into the BIOS for "cmos setup".
CMOS is a type of memory that does not lose its data on power loss. In earlier computers, this is where the boot up configuration was stored; hence the phrase, "setup cmos"

∙ 7y agoTo enter the CMOS setup, you should press whatever key it tells you to press and hold or tap it until it lets you in. If it doesn't display the keys to press, you can try to common ones. Start by holding the Delete key. If that doesn't work, repeat with F1, then with F2, and others. In a few situations, there is no built-in setup, but it takes a program to do it.

Where is cmos setup stored?
Cmos ram.
Do all systems use the same setup to enter cmos setup?
No, not all systems use the same method to enter CMOS setup. Some systems allow access to CMOS setup by pressing DEL during start up and others by pressing F2.
What is the name of the Bios program that edits values in CMOS RAM?
CMOS Setup
Do all systems use the same method to enter CMOS setup?
No, not all systems use the same method to enter CMOS setup. Some systems allow access to CMOS setup by pressing DEL during start up and others by pressing F2.
Can you How disable Block mode?
Use CMOS setup.
Ports on the motherboard can be disabled or enabled in?
CMOS setup
What program allows the alteration of CMOS settings?
CMOS settings are altered by the BIOS program while in setup mode.
Write on system board?

How can you change the contents of the cmos ram setup chip?
fake
What is advantage of CMOS setup?
CMOS is a type of technology for constructing integrated circuits. One advantage of this setup is less waste heat compared to NMOS logic or transistor-transistor logic.
State the advantages of CMOS setup?
By entering the CMOS setup you are able to change the boot sequence of your computer, enable or disable RAID, and change power-on settings. The CMOS setup also allows you to view and change floppy, hard drive, and optical drive settings, as well as change a number of other hardware configuration options.
On older computers changes are made to the CMOS setup data using a setup program stored on what?
a Floppy Disk
