The parameters that are quoted are left-justified character (ASCII) strings padded with space characters, and the quotes (“) are displayed to indicate the size of the string. Parameters that are not quoted are considered data strings, and data strings are right-justified. The data strings are padded with zeroes if the length is not met.

The Board Information Block is factory-configured before shipment. There is no need to modify block parameters unless the NVRAM is corrupted.
