System Bios - Intel S2600KPFR Product Specifications

Product Features Overview
able to provide best performance and cooling for the final system configuration. It is also not
uncommon for the system software stack to be updated to later revisions to ensure the most
reliable system operation. Intel makes periodic system software updates available for
download at the following Intel website:
System updates can be performed in a number of operating environments, including the uEFI
Shell using the uEFI-only System Update Package (SUP), or under different operating systems
using the Intel ® One Boot Flash Update Utility (OFU).
Reference the following Intel documents for more in-depth information about the system
software stack and their functions:

System BIOS

The system BIOS is implemented as firmware that resides in flash memory on the server
board. The BIOS provides hardware-specific initialization algorithms and standard compatible
basic input/output services, and standard Intel
contains firmware for certain embedded devices.
This BIOS implementation is based on the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), according to the
Intel ® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI architecture, as embodied in the industry
standards for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI).
The implementation is compliant with all Intel
architecture specifications, as further specified in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
Reference Specification, Version 2.3.1.
In the UEFI BIOS design, there are three primary components: the BIOS itself, the Human
Interface Infrastructure (HII) that supports communication between the BIOS and external
programs, and the Shell which provides a limited OS-type command-line interface. This BIOS
system implementation complies with HII Version 2.3.1, and includes a Shell.
2.16.1.1 BIOS Revision Identification
The BIOS Identification string is used to uniquely identify the revision of the BIOS being used
on the server. The BIOS ID string is displayed on the Power On Self Test (POST) Diagnostic
Screen and in the <F2> BIOS Setup Main Screen, as well as in System Management BIOS
(SMBIOS) structures.
The BIOS ID string for S2600 series server boards is formatted as follows:
