5. System BIOS The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM PC XT AT and PS 2 compatible computers The Phoenix BIOS flash chip stores the system parameters such as type of disk drives video displays etc in the CMOS The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power When the computer is turned off a back up battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip enabling it to retain system parameters Whenever the computer is powered on the computer is con figured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS which gains control at boot up How To Change the Configuration Data The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the lt Delete gt key at the appropriate time during system boot see below Starting the Setup Utility Normally the only visible POST Power On Self Test routine is the memory test As the memory is being tested press the lt Delete gt key to enter the main menu of the BIOS Setup utility From the main menu you can access the other setup screens such as the Security and Power menus Beginning with Section 7 3 detailed de scriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility Note fan speed is controlled by the Fan Speed Control Mode setting in BIOS see page 7 15 The recommended setting for the 6014H 32 is 3 pin Server 7 1 SUPERSER
