Lesson 3: ROM BIOS

In addition to the chip set, you will find other chips called ROM BIOS. A ROM BIOS chip contains data that specifies the characteristics of hardware devices, such as memory and hard disk and floppy disk drives, so the system can properly access them. This lesson explores ROM BIOS and what it does.

After this lesson, you will be able to:
  • Identify the different types of ROM.
  • Modify the CMOS settings in a computer.
  • Identify POST codes and take appropriate corrective action when a problem is identified.

Estimated lesson time: 30 minutes
