BIOS Features

This chapter provides information pertaining to Intel BIOS and Solaris Fcode and includes these topics:

•Section 3.1, “BIOS Features,” page 3-1

•Section 3.2, “Troubleshooting,” page 3-14

3.1BIOS Features

A BIOS is the ROM code that is loaded by the system to facilitate booting from Fibre Channel drives. The BIOS also contains an embedded conﬁguration manager, used to conﬁgure options provided by the ﬁrmware. The LSI Logic BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS, extending the standard disk service routine provided through INT13h.

Two types of BIOS are available for the LSI7202CP:

•Intel BIOS for Intel-based platforms

•Fcode for Solaris SPARC platforms.

Both Intel BIOS and Fcode concurrently reside on the boards.
