0Fh	System reset code	26h	Auxiliary peripheral configuration
10h	Diskette drive type	27h	Speed control external drive

11h	Reserved	28h	Expanded/base mem. size, IRQ12
12h	Hard drive type	29h	Miscellaneous configuration
13h	Security functions	2Ah	Hard drive timeout

14h	Equipment installed	2Bh	System inactivity timeout
15h	Base memory size, low byte/KB	2Ch	Monitor timeout, Num Lock Cntrl
16h	Base memory size, high byte/KB	2Dh	Additional flags

17h	Extended memory, low byte/KB	2Eh-2Fh	Checksum of locations 10h-2Dh
18h	Extended memory, high byte/KB	30h-31h	Total extended memory tested
19h	Hard drive 1, primary controller	32h	Century

1Ah	Hard drive 2, primary controller	33h	Miscellaneous flags set by BIOS
1Bh	Hard drive 1, secondary controller	34h	International language
1Ch	Hard drive 2, secondary controller	35h	APM status flags

1Dh	Enhanced hard drive support	36h	ECC POST test single bit
1Eh	Reserved	37h-3Fh	Power-on password
1Fh	Power management functions	40-FFh	Feature Control/Status (see note)

NOTES:

Assume unmarked gaps are reserved.

Higher locations (>3Fh) contain information that should be accessed using the INT15, AX=E845h BIOS function (refer to Chapter 8 for BIOS function descriptions).

Locations 40-FFh changeable by UEFU modules.

4.5 System Management

This section describes functions having to do with security, power management, temperature, and overall status. These functions are handled by hardware and firmware (BIOS) and generally configured through the Setup utility.

4.5.1 Security Functions

These systems include various features that provide different levels of security. Note that this subsection describes only the hardware functionality (including that supported by Setup) and does not describe security features that may be provided by the operating system and application software.
