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.
