3.1 Introduction
The board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be upgraded using a
disk-based program. In addition to the BIOS, the flash memory contains the BIOS Setup program,
POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.
This board supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard
write-protected DRAM.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOS is identified as MO81010A.86A.
