    Computer and Information Technology for (HKCEE) Module B

    The BIOS

    Basic Input/Output
    System
    Introduction to BIOS

    Basic Input / Output System (BIOS)


    boot the computer by providing a basic set of
    instructions
    load the operating system after turning on the
    computer
    perform POST (Power-On Self Test)
    provide set-up program for changing BIOS
    parameters
    provide low-level routines for the
    communications between OS and hardware
    devices
    Introduction to BIOS

    BIOS combination
    BIOS program
    CMOS stores BIOS program
    BIOS parameter
    Introduction to BIOS

    Advantages of storing BIOS in ROM


    code and data are readily available during booting
    BIOS content are not corrupted by errant
    applications
    BIOS hardware components
    BIOS ROM
    PC startup program (POST)
    BIOS CMOS memory
    house the configuration information of individual PC
    Introduction to BIOS

    The BIOS ROM


    All BIOS are contained in ROM in old days
    BIOS is now located in EEPROM chip
    erased and rewritten by special programs
    called flash BIOS
    BIOS CMOS memory
    provide a non-volatile storage for PC’s control
    information
    need very little power to operate
    powered by lithium battery
    Introduction to BIOS

    BIOS chip
    The BIOS Boot Process

    1. The power supply sends a signal to the


    components in the system unit.
    2. The CPU finds the ROM chips that contains
    BIOS.
    3. The BIOS performs the POST which checks
    components (e.g. mouse, keyboard
    connectors and expansion card)
    4. The results of the POST are compared with
    data in the CMOS chip.
    The BIOS Boot Process

    5. The BIOS looks for the system files in floppy


    disk drive and hard disk.
    6. The system files and the kernel of the OS load
    into RAM from hard disk.
    The BIOS Boot Process

    Beep codes
    A series of beep: BIOS program encounter
    problems
    One short beep: everything is normal
    Errors can be indicated when video screen does
    not function
    Interpret the beep codes by consulting main board
    menu
    The BIOS Boot Process

    POST Error messages


    Error messages are shown on display system
    Interpret error messages by consulting owner’s
    manual
    Configuring the BIOS

    Setup program interfaces


    1. Hit a particular key or key combination at a right
    time to enter the BIOS setup utility
    Configuring the BIOS

    Setup program interfaces


    2. A BIOS setup screen is displayed.
    Configuring the BIOS

    Typical key control


    Incorrect settings of BIOS may lead to system halt
    Quit the setup without saving changes if we are
    not sure about the changed settings
    Boot sequence
    control the order in which BIOS looks for an OS on
    start-up
    usual sequence: floppy disk  hard disk  CD-ROM
    Configuring the BIOS

    Typical key control


    Performance tuning through BIOS settings
    BIOS settings are responsible for how the chipset is
    controlled.
    Chipset is the key to the overall system performance
    BIOS parameters:
    – Choose the optimal bus speed settings
    – Enable the CPU’s internal cache
    – External cache memory
    – Enable system BIOS shadowing
    – Quick power-on self test
    – Update the BIOS

    Operating System (OS)


    Works with system BIOS and device drivers
    to provide instructions to hardware to perform
    tasks

    Module B: Part C

    Parts of the Boot Process


    Step 1: POST
    Step 2: ROM BIOS startup program searches
    for and loads an OS
    Step 3: OS configures the system and
    completes its own loading
    Step 4: User executes application software
