Basic Input and Output System simply know as BIOS is the first thing that is loaded by the computer. BIOS is designed to initialize a computer properly and load the real full features operation system like Windows, Linux, etc. BIOS is a low-level software where it provides very little but crucial features for its users.

基本输入和输出系统简称为BIOS是计算机首先加载的东西。 BIOS旨在适当地初始化计算机并加载真正的全功能操作系统(例如Windows，Linux等)。BIOS是一种低级软件，在其中它为用户提供的功能很少但很关键。

BIOS功能 (BIOS Functions)

BIOS has some basic functions in order to start the computer and load the real operating system properly.

BIOS具有一些基本功能，以便启动计算机并正确加载实际的操作系统。

POST is a function that is very important because BIOS will check the hardware and connected peripherals and loads them properly for the operating systems. POST is the first thing a BIOS does when the computer is started. When the POST start we can hear a beep sound which says the POST is started.
POST是一项非常重要的功能，因为BIOS将检查硬件和连接的外围设备，并为操作系统正确加载它们。 POST是BIOS在启动计算机时执行的第一件事。开机自检开始时，我们会听到蜂鸣声，表明开机自检开始。
Bootstrap Loader will locate and load a real operating system. Actually, BIOS is also an operating system with very restricted features. BIOS will start the load chain for different operating systems like Linux, Windows, BSD, etc.
Bootstrap Loader将查找并加载实际的操作系统。实际上，BIOS也是具有非常有限的功能的操作系统。 BIOS将启动适用于Linux，Windows，BSD等不同操作系统的负载链。
Load Drivers will load basic drivers for the hardware. These drivers mainly designed to manage given hardware and pass this hardware into the real operating system.
Load Drivers将加载硬件的基本驱动程序。这些驱动程序主要用于管理给定的硬件，并将该硬件传递到实际的操作系统中。
System and Hardware Configuration will set some basic configuration about the system like System Time, Boot Preferences, Security, Hardware Features etc.
System and Hardware Configuration将设置有关系统的一些基本配置，例如System Time ， Boot Preferences ， Security ， Hardware Features等。

如何更新BIOS？ (How To Update BIOS?)

BIOS software is stored in an EPROM which is not easy to change the content of the BIOS chip. But there are some tools provided by the mainboard or chip manufacturer in order to update the BIOS. BIOS Update sometimes called Flash BIOS because it will flash the BIOS chip. Here the steps required to update the BIOS. Keep in mind this is a fragile process and do not interrupt which will cause the BIOS corrupt.

BIOS软件存储在EPROM中，这不容易更改BIOS芯片的内容。但是主板或芯片制造商提供了一些工具来更新BIOS。 BIOS更新有时称为Flash BIOS，因为它将更新BIOS芯片。这里是更新BIOS所需的步骤。请记住，这是一个脆弱的过程，请不要中断，这会导致BIOS损坏。

The download recent BIOS firmware from the chip or mainboard manufacturer.
从芯片或主板制造商下载最新的BIOS固件。
Copy BIOS update software to the USB storage.

如何打开BIOS？(How To Open BIOS?)

As BIOS is the first software or operating system loaded into a computer at the start of the boot we have to be fast in order to open the BIOS main screen. We can make some configuration about BIOS, System Hardware, etc. BIOS manufacturers generally use function keys like F1, F2, etc to open the BIOS Configuration screen here are some of them. Also, information about the shortcut key is provided during boot.

由于BIOS是引导启动时加载到计算机中的第一个软件或操作系统，因此我们必须快速才能打开BIOS主屏幕。我们可以对BIOS，系统硬件等进行一些配置。BIOS制造商通常使用功能键(例如F1，F2等)打开BIOS配置屏幕，此处是其中的一些功能。另外，在引导过程中会提供有关快捷键的信息。
