There are two types of CMOS settings: static and dynamic. The following static settings are determined at runtime by the BIOS:
The value in CMOS
The behavior determined by that value
The BIOS setup strings displayed
For example, for the BIOS setup question in the Quick Boot, in the Boot Settings Configuration menu, under the Boot menu, there are two choices, Enabled and Disabled, and the optimal default is Enabled.
