  • Patent number: 10871969
    Abstract: A method for switching basic input/output system (BIOS) interface, adapted to a basic input/output system (BIOS) having a complex module and a simplified module and executed by an electronic device, comprising entering a BIOS and displaying the simplified module on the BIOS interface, determining by the electronic device whether a hotkey is triggered, determining by the electronic device whether the hotkey is a first hotkey corresponding to the complex module when the hotkey is triggered, and hiding the simplified module and displaying the complex module on the BIOS interface when the hotkey is the first hotkey.

  • Publication number: 20200019918
    Abstract: A system of determining container load units from dispatch load units which allows for packing a container load unit by a homogeneous (identical) type of dispatch load unit and/or by heterogeneous (different types) of dispatch load units. The system allows for the incorporation of practical operational factors, packing preferences and also allows for various empirical overrides. The quantity of container load units and the packing arrangements for each container load unit are generated for various lots of items.

  • Publication number: 20150149753
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a server and a inspecting method thereof. The server comprises a baseboard management controller, a field-replaceable unit coupled with the baseboard management controller, and a basic input/output system (BIOS). After the server is powered on, the BIOS starts running, performs power-on self-test for the server to generate current hardware configuration data, and obtains preset hardware configuration data from the field-replaceable unit through the baseboard management controller. The BIOS then determines whether the current and the preset hardware configuration data agree.

  • Patent number: 8230211
    Abstract: A BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) setting method is disclosed, which is applicable to a computer equipped with a MEMORY a CMOS RAM (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Random Access Memory), and a BIOS-ROM (Basic Input/Output System Read-Only Memory) storing a first setting document. The BIOS setting method includes: providing a setting interface to allow a user to perform settings so as to form a second setting document; storing the second setting document in the BIOS-ROM; and loading the first and second setting documents to the MEMORY during a POST (Power On Self Test) process of the computer; saving the first setting document, or alternatively revising the first setting document and/or combining the first setting document with the second setting document according to the second setting document if loaded, so as to form a third setting document; and loading the third setting document to the CMOS RAM to perform a system initialization according to the third setting document.

  • Publication number: 20100205598
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for installing an operating system in a computer having a plurality of hard disks. The method includes: establishing a BBS table in a fixed address space of a memory for recording a default boot sequence of the hard disks via a BIOS memory; setting the default boot sequence of the hard disks so as to form an actual boot sequence; and interchanging, in boot sequential order, a hard disk among the hard disks which have the highest boot priority in the default boot sequence and that of a hard disk having the highest boot priority in the actual boot sequence, such that the operating system is installed in the hard disk having the highest boot priority in the actual boot sequence, thereby improving the booting efficiency of the computer.

  • Publication number: 20100205423
    Abstract: The invention provides a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), a computer device and a method for recovering the BIOS. The BIOS includes a first boot block, a second boot block and a main BIOS block. The computer device includes a control chip disposed therein and said BIOS. When the programs in the first boot block and the main BIOS block are damaged, the second boot block can be selected so as for the BIOS to boot from the second boot block. Meanwhile, a recovery module of the second boot block can be utilized to recover the first boot block and/or the main BIOS block.
