Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Computer Systems Servicing Self-Learning Module on Basic-

input-output-system (BIOS) configuration procedures!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the Learner:

Welcome to the Computer Systems Servicing Self-Learning Module on Basic-input-

output-system (BIOS) configuration procedures!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You
will be enabled to process the contents of the learning material while being an active
learner.

LESSON

BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is a software usually built onto the motherboard
that shows the major hardware components of your computer with the
operating system.

The BIOS includes instructions on how to load basic computer hardware. It

also includes a test referred to as a POST (Power-On Self-Test) that helps verify the
computer meets requirements to boot up properly.

Steps of BIOS setup using flash drive:

1. Press the Power button of computer.

2. During the initial startup screen, press Delete or F2 key. (Depending on the
company that created your version of BIOS, a menu may appear.)
3. When you choose to enter BIOS Set-up, the set-up utility page will appear.
4. Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, select the BOOT tab. All of the
available system devices will be displayed in order of their boot priority. You
can reorder the devices here.
5. Move USB to be first in the boot sequence.
6. Save the change and then exit the BIOS Set-up.
7. The computer will restart using the new settings, booting from your USB
drive.
