About CMOS Backup and Restore

You can save and restore your setup configuration in preparation for an event such as

battery failure or corrupt CMOS RAM. This feature also allows systems without

batteries to boot properly while still allowing you to configure the system via Setup,

which stores user settings in CMOS RAM. This feature allows automatic or manual

restoration, and selective CMOS RAM restore conditions.

The CMOS RAM configuration backup is stored in FBD parameter block #2. This

entire block is reserved for this purpose and cannot be shared.

The available selections from the Exit setup menu that would force a CMOS

restoration are: Always restore, Never restore, and restore on Corrupt CMOS. The

default setting is to restore on Corrupt CMOS.
