4. The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system When you start the computer the BIOS program gains control The BIOS first operates an auto diagnostic test called POST power on self test for all the necessary hardware it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system OS Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate it is the key factor for system stability and in ensuring that your system performance as its best In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3 1 you can see several options We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here e Press lt Esc gt to quit the BIOS Setup e Press lt gt up down left right to choose in the main menu the option you want to confirm or to modify e Press F10 when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters to exit the BIOS Setup menu 54 e Press Page Up Page Down or keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the active option 3 20 Entering BIOS Setup Menu Power on the computer and by pressing DEL immediately allows you to enter BIOS Setup Menu
