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 will not be erased when you
turn off or reset the computer. Whenever you reboot the
computer, it checks the settings, and if it discovers a

difference between the information in the CMOS RAM and
your system’s configuration, it prompts you to run SETUP.
You see a message such as the following:

CMOS memory size mismatch
