CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is a technology for making solid state devices such as integrated circuits. People who aren't electrical engineers are probably most familiar with the term from its use in the part of a computer that stores configuration information. CMOS devices use less power to maintain their state than do alternative technologies such as TTL and NMOS, making a CMOS memory chip a good place to keep data that needs to be retained even when the computer is turned off and unplugged (a small battery is used to supply power to the CMOS chip). The CMOS settings include things like the parameters for hard drives (more important in older drives, when autodetection was less common and the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors often needed to be set manually) and information about on-board devices that need to be accessible before the operating system itself is loaded.

What is a CMOS socket?
A CMOS socket is to plug a CMOS transistor into. Alternatively, a CMOS socket is to plug a CMOS integrated circuit into. CMOS, by the way, stands for, "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor".
When is necessary to change CMOS parameters?
It's simple about that changing the parameter of CMOS. When you have to install Windows or OS, you have to change CMOS parameters. Otherwise, you have to change something, such as first boot device and second boot device. CMOS can perform some function to block the autorun function from USB port. Thus, your computer may have good security. And you can also change to control some parameter for your computer's hardware devices, like Fan,temperature and so on... That's all I remember about that. Thank you everyone who ask this question. - Aung Zin Linn (I.D.C.S student, Ygn)
