  • Publication number: 20180052500
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a chassis, a first thermal cover, and a second thermal cover. The chassis is assembled with a motherboard and a recognition device. The motherboard includes a basic input/output system (BIOS) and an electronic component. The BIOS is electrically connected to the electronic component. A first operation parameter and a second operation parameter adapted to the electronic component are preset in the BIOS. When the first thermal cover covers the chassis, the BIOS drives the electronic component to be operated according to the first operation parameter. When the second thermal cover covers the chassis, the BIOS drives the electronic component to be operated according to the second operation parameter.
