How to back up the CMOS values

Print CMOS values

The CMOS setup program may allow you to print the values of your CMOS setup. If available, we recommend you back up the CMOS values by printing a hard copy of the current CMOS values. These values can then be re-entered if needed.

Third-party utility

There are various utilities available on the Internet and sometimes from computer manufacturers that lets you make backups of your computer CMOS. These utilities are not always compatible with all versions of CMOS, so be cautious.

We have available on our hardware downloads section a file that we have found helpful called cmos.zip, which lets you do various helpful things with the computer CMOS.
