3.1 Introduction

The YA810E board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS, which is stored in flash memory and can be

upgraded. 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 YA810E 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 YA81011A.86A.

For information about

The board's compliance level with Plug and Play
