Actually, he's entering data into the cmos memory via the bios setup. He
skipped some basic grammar to get across an idea. Most understood it,
including yourself obviously.
CMOS (complimentary metal semiconductor) describes the type of electronics
material the bios setup memory is used in its manufacture. Calling this
specific use memory "cmos" in itself is a very inaccurate term. This irks
me, but I tolerate it because that's what the status quo uses to communicate
the idea with.
As is "entering the cmos" transcending entering the bios setup, changing or
whatever, and saving. They mean the same thing by virtue of some people's
perceptions. And used as a shortcut of words to describe the same idea.
Even those that understand the difference between the words "bios", "bios
setup", and "cmos" may use the term "enter the cmos".
