Windows and Handwrit er Tutorial for Pen X can only be used when the correct pen subsystem is selected.

Permanent an d Curren t BIO S Sett ing s 3

Some BIOS configuration utilit ies allow you to select permanent and/or current s et tings when configuring BIOS options. When you change a permanent setting, BIOS parameters stored in CMOS memory are changed and the new setting is applied after the system is restarted. When you change a current setting, BIOS parameters stored in dynamic memory are changed and the new setting is applied for the current session. Also, note that a change to the current setting only remains in effect until the system is restarted or shut down.

Pen Configuration 4

BIOS data resides in the system’s CMOS memory. When the system is powered on, BIOS data is copied or “shadowed” into the system’s dynamic memory and the system runs using BIOS parameters stored in

dynamic memory.

BIOS Setup 3

BIOS Setup is a configuration utility that you can use to change your system’s permanent BIOS settings. The BIOS Setup application is stored in the BIOS flash ROM. (BIOS Setup values or settings are stored in CMOS memory.) Instructions for starti ng and running BIOS Setup are given in the followi ng d iscussions.

Starting BIOS Setup 3
