CIS 190 - Systems Hardware Concepts Course Laboratory CIS 190 Laboratory Report #2 Name: Savali Rawool Student Number: 300193993 Section: ON 1 Date: 11 February Lab 2.1 Examining BIOS/UEFI Options Objective: To examine BIOS/UEFI features Parts: A computer Note: Internet access may be required. Procedure: Complete the following procedure and answer the accompanying questions. 1. Power on the computer and watch the screen closely for directions for how to access the BIOS/UEFI. Press the appropriate key before the operating system boots. Note that you may have to restart the computer or power it down and then power it back on in order to access the BIOS/UEFI. This may take several tries. You may also be required to research the computer brand and model on the Internet to determine which keystroke is required. Which keystroke is required to access BIOS/UEFI? F2 2. Examine the main menu. List at least three main menu options. Main, advanced, security and exit Which keystroke(s) allow(s) you to save settings and exit BIOS/UEFI? F10 3. Explore various menus in order to answer the following questions. List the boot devices in the order in which they are currently configured through BIOS/UEFI. First boot device: Diskette drive Second boot device: Internal HDD University of the Fraser Valley Page 1 of 6
CIS 190 - Systems Hardware Concepts Course Laboratory Third boot device: USB Storage Device CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive On which menu screen can you set a power-on password? Security List the options you can set for any integrated motherboard port. USB Controllers and Onboard AC97 Audio Controller The BIOS/UEFI enables which type of monitoring? Select all that apply and add any that are not listed. [ power | fan | CPU | HDD (hard disk drive) | temperature ] What diagnostics, if any, are available through BIOS/UEFI? A basic power-on-self-test (POST) Which power saving options, if any, are available through BIOS/UEFI? HDD Down In Suspend, Video Off Method and ACPI Suspend to RAM Through which menu option is virtualization support enabled or disabled? Advanced>CPU Configuration>Intel Virtualization Technology Which tool would a technician use for troubleshooting? POST Cards and Software Diagnostic Packages are few of the options a technician can use . Which setting(s) would you choose to make the computer boot faster? Cut down on start-up programs Enable windows fast start-up mode Disable quick boot so no system tests are run What is the BIOS/UEFI version? 1.0.6 Which keystroke(s) allow(s) you to exit BIOS/UEFI without saving any changes? ESC 4. Using whatever keystroke(s) you documented in the last question of step 3, exit BIOS/UEFI without saving any changes. University of the Fraser Valley Page 2 of 6
CIS 190 - Systems Hardware Concepts Course Laboratory Lab 2.2 Accessing BIOS/UEFI Through Windows 8 or 10 Objective: To access BIOS/UEFI through the operating system Parts: A working Windows 8 or 10 computer Procedure: Complete the following procedure and answer the accompanying questions. 1. Power on the computer and log in as required. 2. With newer devices that have fast-booting hard drives, accessing BIOS/UEFI setup is challenging. Windows 8 and 10 support accessing BIOS/UEFI through Windows, but not all vendors add this support: Windows 8: Point to the upper-right corner of the screen or access Settings > Change PC Settings link > Update and Recovery > Recovery > Restart Now button > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings > Restart button Windows 10: Access Settings > Update and Security > Recovery > Restart Now button > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings or Startup Settings > Restart button Describe a situation where you think a technician would use this technique? If the function key is broken, It eliminates the chances of missing bios when restarting What BIOS/UEFI options are available on the main screen? Main, advanced, security and exit What option or keystroke(s) allow(s) you to exit BIOS/UEFI? Esc 3. Using whatever keystroke(s) you documented in the last question of step 2, exit BIOS/UEFI without changing any settings. University of the Fraser Valley Page 3 of 6

CIS 190 - Systems Hardware Concepts Course Laboratory Lab 2.3 Configuring System Resources Through the Setup Program Objective: To access the system resources through the Setup program Parts: A computer Procedure: Complete the following procedure and answer the accompanying questions. 1. Power on the computer. 2. Press the appropriate key(s) to enter the Setup program. 3. Go through the various menus or icons until you find an interrupt (IRQ) setting for a particular device or port. Write the device or port and the associated IRQ in the space below. IRQ 0 System timer Why do different devices generally not have the same interrupt? It is important to assign different IRQ addresses to different hardware devices is because the interrupt request signals run along single IRQ lines to a controller. Since the interrupt controller can control only one device per IRQ line, if you assign the same IRQ address to multiple devices, you are likely to get an IRQ conflict. So, make sure you assign unique IRQs to new hardware 4. Go through the various menus or icons until you find an I/O address setting for a particular device or port. Write the device or port in the space provided, along with the associated I/O address. 0x00000070 System CMOS/ real time clock Why must each device and port have a separate and unique I/O address? Having a unique I/O address assigned to your computer helps to easily locate and recognize the devices attached to your computer. How do I/O addresses, interrupts, and memory addresses get assigned to an installed adapter? University of the Fraser Valley Page 4 of 6 IRQ Device or port I/O address Device or port
CIS 190 - Systems Hardware Concepts Course Laboratory Lab Windows automatically assigns free memory address and I/O port if the device needs one. These addresses are unique. They can also be set by changing jumpers, switches or by software IRQ sharing is handled automatically by the operating system . On non-plug-and-play systems we have to manually configure each device with its own IRQ What is the best source for viewing interrupts, I/O addresses, and memory addresses that have been assigned? Device Manager 5. Exit the Setup program. 6. Go to Device Manager and determine whether the information collected in steps 3 and 4 is the same. 2.4 Examining System Resources by Using Windows Objective: To be able to view and access system resources by using Windows Parts: A computer with Windows loaded Procedure: Complete the following procedure and answer the accompanying questions. 1. Power on the computer and verify that Windows loads. Log on to the computer, using the user ID and password provided by the instructor or lab assistant. 2. Locate and access Device Manager . 3. Click the View menu option and select Resources by Type . Which types of system resources are shown? Input/output (IO), Interrupt request (IRQ), Memory 4. Click the plus sign (or arrow) or Interrupt Request (IRQ) to expand the section. Scroll through the list to determine whether there are any interrupts in use by multiple devices (the same number used by two things)? If so, list one. High-Definition Audio Controller and Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D60 both use IRQ16 What device, if any, is using IRQ8? System CMOS/real time clock University of the Fraser Valley Page 5 of 6
CIS 190 - Systems Hardware Concepts Course Laboratory Lab Is this the standard IRQ for this device? Yes, it is the standard IRQ for this device. University of the Fraser Valley Page 6 of 6
