Cmos setup allows a technician to change configuration settings on a motherboard stored in what?
firmware chip
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.
Where is cmos setup stored?
Cmos ram.
In Compaq Presario models press what during booting when the logo screen appears to run CMOS setup?
F2
How do you setup cmos?
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"
What happens automatically after you exit CMOS setup main screen?
date time change and window starting problem
In what section do you usually find the time and date setup in the CMOS setup utility?
Josh Rogers page 12 section 4-5
You boot a notebook and discover that CMOS setup has lost configuration information or that the date and time are wrong What could be the most likely reason for this?
Most likely the small battery inside the case that powers CMOS RAM needs replacing.
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.
Is the hardware system configuration stored in CMOS?
yes it is stored in CMOS
What is the name of the Bios program that edits values in CMOS RAM?
CMOS Setup
Can you enter the CMOS setup after the computer system has booted up?
Generally, no, you cannot enter the CMOS setup after you have booted. But it depends on the exact computer and if there is a separate CMOS configuration tool. In fact, the IBM AT was like that, and it required a separate setup program that ran after the computer booted. Some of the modern computers will let you change certain CMOS settings on the fly if you install a utility their utility for doing that.
