BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
BIOS is a set of routines that affect how the computer transfers data between computer components, such
as memory, disks, and the display adapter. The BIOS instructions are built into the computer’s read-only
memory. BIOS parameters can be conFgured by the user through the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS
can be updated using the provided utility to copy a new BIOS Fle into the EEPROM.
Bit (Binary Digit)
Represents the smallest unit of data used by the computer. A bit can have one of two values: 0 or 1.
Boot
Boot means to start the computer operating system by loading it into system memory. When the manual
instructs you to “boot” your system (or computer), it means to turn ON your computer. “Reboot” means
to restart your computer. When using Windows 95 or later, selecting “Restart” from “Start | Shut Down...”
will reboot your computer.
Byte (Binary Term)
One byte is a group of eight contiguous bits. A byte is used to represent a single alphanumeric character,
punctuation mark, or other symbol.
Clock Throttling
Chipset function which allows the processor’s clock to be stopped and started at a known duty cycle.
Clock throttling is used for power savings, thermal management, and reducing processing speed.
