5 BIOS SETUP

FB61 BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the

basic system configuration. This information is stored in battery-backed RAM

so that it retains the Setup information even if the system power is turned off.

The system BIOS is managing and executing a variety of hardware related

functions in the system, including:

System date and time

Hardware execution sequence

Power management functions

Allocation of system resources
