Setup
5.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system and how to configure the BIOS in its
Setup Menu. The IPC-623C single-board computer is equipped
with a system BIOS chipset from Award Software Inc.
Your application programs (such as word processing,
spreadsheets, and games) rely on an operating system such as
DOS or OS/2 to manage such things as keyboard, monitor, disk
drives, and memory.
The operating system, in turn, relies on a BIOS (Basic Input and
Output system), a program stored on a ROM (Read-only
Memory) chip, to initialize and configure your computer’s
hardware. As the interface between the hardware and the
operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic changes
to your system’s hardware without having to write a new
operating system.
The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships
between the system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and an
application program:
