Describe What 3 things are typically found in the Standard CMOS setup option.
|
The Standard CMOS Setup option allows you to set:
A) The date and time of the system B) Disk drive parameters C) Which types of errors will cause the system to freeze during the power-on self test (POST). |
|
|
What 2 things can be found in the BIOS setup feature of CMOS setup?
|
1) enable/disable cache and ShadowRAM features
2) boot-up options |
|
|
What does the Chipset Features option in the CMOS setup utility allow you to do?
|
configure memory - particularly DRAM and SRAM - to optimize the chipset.
|
|
|
What does the Power Management Setup in the CMOS setup utility allow you to do?
|
Choose from among 3 power saving modes: Doze, Standby or Suspend.
|
|
|
What does the PnP/PCI Configuration option in the CMOS setup utility allow you to do?
|
The PnP/PCI Configuration option allows you to configure Plug and Play (PnP) settings, which determine the type of hardware device installed in the system and allocate system resources to this device.
|
|
|
What does the Integrated Controllers option in the CMOS configuration utility allow you do do?
|
The Integrated Peripherals option allows you to configure and enable peripheral features such as the floppy disk controller (FDC) and Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) controllers.
|
|
|
When do you use Large Mode as the translation mode for Hard drive setting in the CMOS utility?
|
When you have a drive that does not support LBA and that has more then 1024 cylinders or 528 MB.
|
|
|
What does the LBA translation mode accomplish in the CMOS hard drive setup utility.
|
On drives that support it, this mode considers physical block addresses instead of head addresses.
|
|
|
What is the maximum number of cylinders that a normal Translation mode work with for a hard drive?
|
1024 cylinders.
|
|
|
How much memory is split between upper memory and base memory in the 1 MB available for DOS
|
Upper - 384 kb
base - 640 kb |
|
|
When might you disable the Virus warning function in CMOS?
|
When you are performing an upgrade to the operating system.
|
|
|
What does ESCD stand for and what is it?
|
ESCD - Extended System Configuration Data. It resides in CMOS RAM and is used to record data about each PNP hardware device. Both BIOS and the OS can then access it.
|
|
|
Which Windows Operating systems are fully PnP compliant?
|
win98, win2000, winXP.
winNT is NOT PnP compliant. |
