S 6.27 Backup of the CMOS RAM
Initiation responsibility: Head of IT Section, IT Security management
Implementation responsibility: Administrator, IT users
Normally, users of AT bus disks must manually enter the number of heads,
sectors and cylinders of their hard disk in the set-up. Manuals very seldom
contain such information; therefore it should, in any case, be recorded in
writing after every change (e.g. in the PC Checklist Booklet, S 2.24
Introduction of a PC Checklist Booklet) or saved on diskette by means of an
appropriate program.
Additional controls:
- Have entries in the CMOS RAM of a computer been recorded in writing?
