Table 4-18 lists the mapping of the configuration memory. Locations 00h-3Fh may be accessed
using OUT/IN assembly language instructions or BIOS function INT15, AX=E823h. All other
locations should be accessed using the INT15, AX=E845h function (refer to Chapter 8 for BIOS
function descriptions).

NOTE:
Assume unmarked gaps are reserved.
The contents of configuration memory (including the password) can be cleared by the following
procedure:
1.
Turn off unit and disconnect AC power cord from the rear chassis connector.
2.
Remove jumper from pins 1 and 2 of header E50 and place on pins 2 and 3 for 15 seconds.
3.
Replace jumper to original configuration (pins 1 and 2).
4.
Re-connect AC power cord to the chassis and turn unit on.
