4.4.3 Standard CMOS Locations

Table 4-12 describes standard configuration memory locations 0Ah-3Fh. These locations are
accessible through using OUT/IN assembly language instructions using port 70/71h or BIOS
function INT15, AX=E823h.

Security functions

14h Equipment installed
15h Base memory size, low byte/KB
16h Base memory size, high byte/KB
17h Extended memory, low byte/KB
18h Extended memory, high byte/KB
19h Hard drive 1, primary controller
1Ah Hard drive 2, primary controller
1Bh Hard drive 1, secondary controller
1Ch Hard drive 2, secondary controller
1Dh Enhanced hard drive support
1Eh Reserved
1Fh Power management functions
NOTES:
Assume unmarked gaps are reserved.
Higher locations (>3Fh) contain information that should be accessed using the INT15, AX=E845h
BIOS function (refer to Chapter 8 for BIOS function descriptions).

4.5 System Management

This section describes functions having to do with security, power management, temperature,
and overall status. These functions are handled by hardware and firmware (BIOS) and generally
configured through the Setup utility.
4.5.1 Security Functions
These systems include various features that provide different levels of security. Note that this
subsection describes only the hardware functionality (including that supported by Setup) and
does not describe security features that may be provided by the operating system and application
software.
