When you start a computer, you get a prompt that says something like "Hit F2 to enter Setup". In this case, Setup is the information stored in the BIOS, and is located on a chip on the motherboard called the CMOS. This contains all the most basic information needed to start up the computer and tell it where the memory, hard drives, processor, etc are in order to continue starting up.
