Study Notes

BIOS and UEFI

BIOS program manages data flow between the OS and devices, allowing the OS and application programs to be unaware of peripheral details (such as hardware addresses)
UEFI performs a similar task, but stores initialization and startup information in an .efi file instead of firmware

Spanned Volume

A spanned volume is created by linking together free disk space from multiple disks (up to a maximum of 32 disks)

Accessing BIOS Settings

To access BIOS settings, press the corresponding key during boot-up:
- ASRock: F2 or DEL
- ASUS: F2 (all PCs), F2 or DEL (Motherboards)
- Acer: F2 or DEL
- Dell: F2 or F12
- ECS: DEL
- Gigabyte / Aorus: F2 or DEL
- HP: ESC, F10
- Lenovo (Consumer Laptops): F2 or Fn + F2
- Lenovo (Desktops): F1
- Lenovo (ThinkPads): Enter then F1
Tip: Press the key about twice a second when the computer is starting up to ensure access to BIOS settings
