BASIC INPUT/OUT SYSTEM

Stands for Basic Input/output System or Basic Integrated Operating System.

BIOS refer to the software code run by a computer when first powered on. The
primary function of BIOS is to prepare the machine so other software programs
stored on various media (such as hard drives, floppies, and CDs) can:
load,
execute,
control of the computer.
This process is known as booting up

•Programs stored on ROM chips are known as FIRMWARE
•Programs stored on erasable media are called SOFTWARE
•The BIOS stored on the ROM chip attached to the motherboard
is called the system BIOS
•The ROM chip that stores the system BIOS is called the system

•The BIOS is special software that interfaces the major

When you turn on your computer, the BIOS
do 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 system settings
6. Determine which devices are bootable
7. Initiate the bootstrap sequence
