摘要： A method for ensuring normal operation at an Early Power-On Self Test stage of a computer device is proposed. The method is applied to the computer devices having a timing function. A largest execution time for at least an Early POST program is preset, and the actual execution time of the Early POST program is counted when the computer device is activated. If the execution time of the POST program is greater than the largest execution time, the computer devices will then be restarted, the POST program will be re-executed, and the timing process of the POST program will be performed again, until execution time of every Early POST programs is smaller or equal to the corresponding preset largest execution time. Upon which, the timing will be terminated, and the computer devices will be able to enter into the stage of Later POST. This method ensures any Early POST program causing the system to hang to be cleared by automatically restarting the computer system, so that users will not experience system hangs during the Early POST stage.

摘要： A method for updating System Management Basic Input Output System (SMBIOS) data in BIOS of a computer system is provided so as to allow a user to store user-defined information in a storage unit of a computer system, wherein the storage unit has a default SMBIOS data. This method establishes an accessing block in the BIOS that enable the user to access user data, determines whether the accessing block contains the user data after activating the BIOS. If there is user data in the accessing block, the user data is stored in the storage unit and the default SMBIOS data is removed; otherwise, the default SMBIOS data is retained, thereby achieving the advantage of easy update.

摘要： An initialization picture displaying method is applicable to a server such as a network-attached storage (NAS) server without a display chip for remotely displaying working messages of the server. The initialization picture displaying method includes (1) utilizing a chipset to reserve a region of a memory as a display chip buffer, (2) initializing an option ROM completely, and (3) after the option ROM is initialized completely releasing the reserved region of the memory. Therefore, even if the server does not have any display chip, the NAS sever can still correctly remotely display an initialization picture of an option ROM.

摘要： A data protection method of a storage device, applied in a computer having a storage device, is provided. The storage device is consisted of a plurality of blocks. The method includes the following steps. When a data containing a plurality of bit data is stored in the storage device in the computer, the stored bit data is checked bit by bit. If an incorrect bit data is checked, the data in the block containing the incorrect bit data is backed up to a reserved block. Therefore, the memory capacity of the storage device is not occupied while backing up data, so as to improve the reliability of the computer.
