Chapter 3BIOS Setup
This chapter provides a description of the BIOS setup utility. The BIOS setup menus and
available selections may vary from those of your product. For specific information on the BIOS
for your product, please contact ViewSonic ® .
The BIOS setup utility provides a built-in Setup program, which allows the user to modify the
basic system configuration and hardware parameters. The modified data will be stored in a
battery-backed CMOS, so that data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In
general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM will not need to be changed unless there is a
configuration change in the system, such as a hard drive replacement or when a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, which will cause data loss in the CMOS only. If this
happens you will need to reconfigure your BIOS settings.
