My computer says: “CMOS Battery Low”, what should I do?

If your computer is without power (i.e. unplug the computer power source from the power outlet and remove the battery pack from it) for over 45 days, you would lose the information stored in CMOS.

Please follow the steps below to reconfigure your CMOS settings:

1.Press F2 to enter into the BIOS setup utility.

2.Select “Load Optional Defaults?”. When you see the following prompt, choose <OK> and then press <Enter>.

3.Select “Save Changes and Exit”, select <OK> and press <Enter> to restart your computer.

How to unplug or eject devices

1.In the notification area next to your task bar, double-click the

Safe Removal icon. Safe removal displays a list of Plug and Play devices that support safe removal and that are currently attached to the system. If you do not see the Safe Removal icon, your device does not support safe removal, and you cannot unplug or eject your device using Safe Removal.

2.In Safely Remove Hardware, in the list of devices, select the device that you want to unplug or eject, and then click Stop. This tells the system that you will be unplugging or ejecting the device.

3.In Stop a Hardware device, click OK.

A notification appears stating that it is now safe to unplug or eject the device.

Caution

Unplugging or ejecting a device that supports safe removal without first using the Safe Removal application to warn the system can cause data to be lost or your system to become unstable. For example, if a device is unplugged during a data transfer, data loss is likely. If you use Safe Removal, however, you can warn the system before you unplug or eject a device, preventing possible loss of data.

Note

For removable storage devices that can safely be removed while the system is on, the system disables write caching by default. It does this so the devices can be removed without loss of data. When write caching is disable, however, the system will likely experience slower performance, so be sure to enable write caching when you have finished removing the device.

W476, W576 specifications

Intel's W576 and W476 processors are innovative additions to the company's Xeon lineup, designed specifically for high-performance computing tasks and enterprise-level applications. These processors cater to a diverse range of industries requiring robust processing power, reliability, and energy efficiency.

The Intel W576 processor is equipped with 24 cores and 48 threads, featuring an impressive base clock speed of 2.6 GHz, which can boost up to 4.4 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost technology. This architecture allows for exceptional multitasking capabilities, making it suitable for data-intensive applications, virtualization, and AI workloads. The W576 supports Intel's Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX-512), which enhances its ability to perform complex calculations efficiently, vital for scientific simulations and machine learning processes.

On the other hand, the W476 processor, although slightly less powerful with its 16 cores and 32 threads, still delivers formidable performance with a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.3 GHz. The W476 is designed for workloads that do not require the same level of parallel processing as the W576 but still demand substantial computational power, making it ideal for enterprises focused on reliable performance without extreme scalability requirements.

Both processors integrate Intel's Speed Shift technology, which allows for quicker adjustments to CPU performance based on workload demands. This contributes to improved power efficiency and thermal management, ensuring that both processors operate optimally under varying workloads. They also support Intel Deep Learning Boost, which enables accelerated AI inference performance, crucial for businesses leveraging machine learning solutions.

Furthermore, these processors include features such as Intel Optane memory support, which enhances system responsiveness and storage capabilities, and support for DDR4 memory up to 3200 MT/s, allowing for faster data throughput. The W576 and W476 also possess robust security features including Intel Software Guard Extensions which provide hardware-based protection for sensitive data and applications.

In summary, the Intel W576 and W476 processors represent a significant step forward in processing technology for enterprise environments. With their advanced architectures, improved power efficiency, and support for modern workloads, they provide the versatility and performance required in today's data-driven landscape. Whether for high-demand AI applications or reliable enterprise computing, these processors stand out as powerful solutions that align with the evolving needs of the industry.
