  2. Power-on self-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test

    No RAM installed/detected 2: Incompatible RAM type installed (for example, EDO) 3: No RAM banks passed memory testing 4: Bad checksum for the remainder of the boot ROM: 5: Bad checksum for the ROM boot block

  3. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    The memory battery (aka motherboard, CMOS, real-time clock (RTC), clock battery) [2] [10] is generally a CR2032 lithium coin cell.This cell battery has an estimated life of three years when power supply unit (PSU) is unplugged or when the PSU power switch is turned off. [11]

  4. Checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checksum

    This is especially true of cryptographic hash functions, which may be used to detect many data corruption errors and verify overall data integrity; if the computed checksum for the current data input matches the stored value of a previously computed checksum, there is a very high probability the data has not been accidentally altered or corrupted.

  5. BIOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

    In the era of DOS, the BIOS provided BIOS interrupt calls for the keyboard, display, storage, and other input/output (I/O) devices that standardized an interface to application programs and the operating system. More recent operating systems do not use the BIOS interrupt calls after startup. [4]

  6. INT 16H - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INT_16H

    The standard encoding of the keyboard that offers the INT 16 h is a US keyboard. To adapt the coding of the INT 16h to another type of keyboard (for example, an international keyboard), the code must analyze the scan-code of the key pressed, and then perform suitable interpreting.

  7. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    This system detects all single-digit errors and around 90% [citation needed] of transposition errors. 1, 3, 7, and 9 are used because they are coprime with 10, so changing any digit changes the check digit; using a coefficient that is divisible by 2 or 5 would lose information (because 5×0 = 5×2 = 5×4 = 5×6 = 5×8 = 0 modulo 10) and thus ...

  8. Fletcher's checksum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fletcher's_checksum

    In this respect, the Fletcher checksum is not different from other checksum and CRC algorithms and needs no special explanation. An ordering problem that is easy to envision occurs when the data word is transferred byte-by-byte between a big-endian system and a little-endian system and the Fletcher-32 checksum is computed.

  9. CMOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS

    CMOS inverter (a NOT logic gate). Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS, / ˈ s iː m ɒ s /, also US: /-ɔː s / [1]) is a type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions.
