configuration data (256 Bytes per module, 128 Bytes programmable), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) ROM
for System BIOS (8M Bytes) and Super I/O's: masked keyboard ROM (overall 2K Bytes). In addition, these units
contain a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) that contains 16K Bytes of non-volatile memory for user data. The
