Complementary metal oxide semiconductor

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) is a manufacturing technology for integrated circuits used to store some PC settings such as the date/time, hard drive configuration, boot sequence and other BIOS settings even when the computer is turned off.

  1. Using a specialized tool for PC Building Simulations, demonstrate the steps required in CMOS memory and battery setup. You need to explain with the support of pictures at least four steps involved in this process.
  2. Enter the BIOS Setup Utility of your computer, access to the configuration of the following settings and complete the required tasks:

a. Find the current BIOS version

b. Display the current Boot order

c. Secure your computer with a BIOS password

d. Display the current configuration of fan speeds and system voltages.
