    BIOS 4.8 AMI BIOS Checkpoints 4.8.1 Bootblock Initialization Code Checkpoints The Bootblock initialization code sets up the chipset, memory and other components before system memory is available. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the bootblock initialization portion of the BIOS (Note) Checkpoint...
  • Page 87 BIOS Both key sequence and OEM specific method is checked to determine if BIOS recovery is forced. If BIOS recovery is necessary, control flows to checkpoint E0. See Bootblock Recovery Code Checkpoints section of document for more information. Restore CPUID value back into register. The Bootblock- Runtime interface module is moved to system memory and control is given to it.
  • Page 88 BIOS 4.8.2 Bootblock Recovery Code Checkpoints The Bootblock recovery code gets control when the BIOS determines that a BIOS recovery needs to occur because the user has forced the update or the BIOS checksum is corrupt. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS (Note) Checkpoint...

  • Page 90 BIOS 4.8.3 POST Code Checkpoints The POST code checkpoints are the largest set of checkpoints during the BIOS pre-boot process. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during the POST portion of the BIOS (Note) Checkpoint Description Disable NMI, Parity, video for EGA, and DMA controllers.
  • Page 91 BIOS Early CPU Init Exit Initializes the 8042 compatible Key Board Controller. Detects the presence of PS/2 mouse. Detects the presence of Keyboard in KBC port. Testing and initialization of different Input Devices. Also, update the Kernel Variables. Traps the INT09h vector, so that the POST INT09h handler gets control for IRQ1.
  • Page 92 BIOS Initializes different devices through DIM. See DIM Code Checkpoints section of document for more information. USB controllers are initialized at this point. Initializes DMAC-1 & DMAC-2. Initialize RTC date/time. Test for total memory installed in the system. Also, Check for DEL or ESC keys to limit memory test.
