The configuration you define through SETUP is stored in a
special area of memory called CMOS RAM. This memory is
backed up by a battery, so it is not erased when you turn off or
reset the computer. Whenever you start the computer it checks
the settings, and if it discovers a difference between the
information in CMOS RAM and your system’s configuration, it
prompts you to run SETUP. You see a message such as the
following:
CMOS memory mismatch
