Bit definition

0

Bit 0

1 if mandatory user binary, 0 if not mandatory.

 

If a user binary is mandatory, it will always be executed. If a platform supports a disabling of the user

 

binary scan through CU, this bit will override CU setting.

 

Bit 1

1

 

If runtime presence required (other than SMM user binary portion, SMM user binary will always be

 

present in runtime irrespective of setting of this bit)

 

 

0, if not required in runtime, and can be discarded at boot time.

 

Bit 7:2

reserved for future expansion

 

 

1 – 0fh

Reserved for future expansion

If this structure is not present, that is, if the mask bit 01 is not set, the system BIOS assumes that the user binary is not mandatory, and it is required in runtime.

6.48.3OEM Splash Screen

The SE7501WV2 BIOS supports a splash screen during POST; a 16-KB region of flash ROM is available to store the OEM logo in compressed format. The BIOS contains the standard Intel logo. This logo could be stored in the same area as the OEM logo or it could be stored in a separate area. Using the iFLASH utility, this region can be updated with an OEM supplied logo image. The OEM logo must fit within a 640 X 384 size to accommodate the progress meter at the top and hotkey messages at the bottom of the screen. If an OEM logo is flashed into the system, it will override the built-in Intel® logo.

Intel supplies utilities that compress and convert a 16-color bitmap file into a logo file suitable for iFLASH. Intel also supplies a blank logo. If the logo area is updated with a blank logo, the system behaves as if there is no logo and will always display the POST diagnostic screen.

6.48.4Localization

The SE7501WV2 server BIOS supports English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Intel provides translations for all of the strings in the supported languages. The language can be selected using BIOS setup. BIOS setup can detect which languages are included in the language database and present the correct selections to the user.
