(WHAT TO KNOW)
BIOS (BASIC INPUT-OUPUT SYSTEM)
A ROM chip found on the
motherboard that allows you
to access and set up your
computer system at the most
basic level
It is the first thing that loads
when you start your
computer.
It initializes your hardware
before booting an operating
system from your hard drive or
another device.
UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface)
- Successor to the
traditional BIOS.
- Offers support for boot
volume over 2 TB in
size, for more than 4
partitions in a drive
FUNCTIONS OF BIOS
**POST (POWER ON SELFT TEST)
Test the computer
hardware and make sure
no error exists before
loading the operating
system.
**BOOTSTRAP LOADER
Locate the operating
system. If a capable
operating system is
located, the BIOS will pass
control to it.
**BIOS DRIVERS

Low level drivers that give

the computer basic
operational control over
your computer hardware.
**BIOS or CMOS SETUP
Configuration program
that allows you to
configure hardware
settings including system
settings such as computer
passwords, time and date.
 When you turn on your computer,
the BIOS does several things. This
is its usual sequence.
1. Check the CMOS Setup for
custom settings..
2. Load the interrupt handlers and
device drivers.
3. Initialize registers and power
management.

4. Perform the power-on-self test

(POST)

5. Display the system settings.

6. Determine which device are
bootable.

7. Initiate the bootstrap sequence.

How to access your BIOS or UEFI
settings.
- Restart your PC.
- You’ll need to press a key during
the boot-up process.
If your using a Windows 7 OS…
Common options on the BIOS setup
System Time/Date – set the time
and date
Boot Sequence – the order that
BIOS will try to load the operating
system.
Common options on the BIOS setup
Plug and Play – a standard for auto
detecting connected devices:
should be set to “YES”.
Mouse/Keyboard – “Enable Num
Lock”, “Enable the Keyboard”, “
Auto Detect Mouse”…
Common options on the BIOS setup
Drive Configuration – configure
hard drives, CD-ROM, and floppy
drives.
Memory – Direct the BIOS to
shadow to a specific memory
address
Common options on the BIOS setup
Security – Set a password for
accessing the computer.
Power Management – select
whether to use power
management, as well as set the
amount of time for STANDBY and
SUSPEND.
Common options on the BIOS setup

Exit – save your changes, discard

your changes and restore default
settings.
For Windows 8 or 10 it requires you
to access the UEFI settings via
Windows 8 or 10’t boot options
menu. To access it, hold down
SHIFT key as you click “Restart”
option to restart your computer.
The computer will reboot into a
special boot options menu. Select
Troubleshoot > Advanced options >
EUFI Firmware Settings to access
the EUFI firmware settings screen.

COMPUTER QUEST
Answer the questions that
will be posted on our
google classroom.
ACTIVITY 5.1.2
TRUE OR FALSE: Write BIOS if
the statement is correct and
UEFI if it is not.

TRUE – BIOS
FALSE - UEFI
1. The SECURITY option of the BIOS
setup allows us to set a password for
accessing the computer.

2. UEFI stands for Uniform

Extensible Firmware Interface.
3. The BIOS DRIVERS test the
computer hardware and make sure
no error exist before loading the
operating system
4. A BIOS allows you to access
and set up your computer system
at the most basic level.
5. POST stands for power-on self
test.

6. The EXIT option of BIOS that

set the order that BIOS will try to
load the OS.
7. You have to press either DEL, F1
or F2 to access the BIOS.
8. BOOTSTRAP LOADER is a
configuration program that allows
you to configure hardware
settings such as computer
passwords, time and date.
9. Your computers BIOS is the first
thing that loads when you start your
computer.

10. UEFI is the successor to the

traditional BIOS.
