BIOS Overview

PCI Interrupt Request Lines

PCI devices generate interrupt requests using up to eight PCI interrupt request lines. PCI interrupts can be shared; several devices can use the same interrupt. However, optimal system performance is reached when minimizing the sharing of interrupts.

POST Tests

The POST is executed each time the system is powered on, or a reset is performed. The POST process verifies the basic functionality of the system components and initializes certain system parameters.

The POST starts by displaying a graphic screen of the Hewlett-Packard logo when the PC is started.

Devices, such as memory and newly installed hard disks, are configured automatically. The user is not requested to confirm the change. Newly removed hard disks are detected, and the user is prompted to confirm the new configuration by pressing F4.

NOTE The POST does not detect when a hard disk drive has been otherwise changed.

During the POST, the BIOS and other ROM data is copied into high-speed shadow RAM. The shadow RAM is addressed at the same physical location as the original ROM in a manner which is completely transparent to applications. It therefore appears to behave as very fast ROM. This technique provides faster access to the system BIOS firmware.

The following table lists the POST checkpoint codes written at the start of each test:

	Checkpoint	POST Routine Description
	Code	POST Routine Description
	Code

	D0	NMI is Disabled. CPU ID saved. Init code Checksum verification starting.

	D1	To do DMA init, Keyboard controller BAT test, start memory refresh and going to 4GB flat mode.

	D3	To start Memory sizing.

	D4	To comeback to real mode. Execute OEM patch. Set stack.

	D5	E000 ROM enabled. Init code is copied to segment 0 and control to be transferred to segment 0.
