BIOS AND POST

CONFIGURATION
Computer Systems Servicing NC II

WHAT IS BIOS?
(Basic Input/Output System)
BIOS - is the program a computer's
microprocessor uses to start the
computer system after it is powered
on. It also manages data flow between
the computer's operating system (OS)
and attached devices, such as the hard
disk, video adapter, keyboard, mouse
and printer.
WHAT IS P.O.S.T?
(Power On Self Test)
POST - is the diagnostic testing
sequence that a computer's basic
input/output system (or "starting
program") runs to determine if the
computer keyboard, random access
memory, disk drives, and other
hardware are working correctly.
BIOS VS POST
• BIOS - identifies, configures, tests and connects computer hardware to the OS immediately
after a computer is turned on.
• POST - This tests the hardware of the computer before loading the OS.
BIOS
• The bios is stored on the BIOS chip on the motherboard
• The BIOS chip is non-volatile
BIOS
After the computer is turned off, the computer does need to maintain certain settings.

• Date and time


• Boot sequence
• Hardware settings
CMOS
• The bios settings are stored on the motherboard in the CMOS chip
• The CMOS chip volatile
CMOS
• The CMOS chip needs constant power to maintain its contents or settings
• The CMOS battery maintains these settings
BIOS VS CMOS
• The BIOS is the firmware or program that comes with your motherboard contains the
instructions on how the computer boot and is only modified or updated by BIOS
manufacturer
• The CMOS is where the BIOS stores date, time, and system configuration details it needs to
start the computer.
BIOS VS UEFI
UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. It does the same job as a
BIOS, but with one basic difference: it stores all data about initialization and startup in
an. UEFI supports drive sizes up to 9 zettabytes, whereas BIOS only supports 2.2
terabytes. UEFI provides faster boot time.
BIOS (OLD)
• Blue Screen that resembles the BSOD
• Cannot recognize larger storage drive
• Only able to use a keyboard
UEFI (NEW)
• User friendly, graphical user interface
• Recognize larger storage drives
• Able to use a mouse in the interface
• Secure boot
