3.1 Introduction
The board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub (FWH) and can be updated
using a disk-based program. The FWH contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-
configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOSs are identified as FN84510A.86A.
When the BIOS Setup program configuration jumper is set to configuration mode and the computer
is powered-up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the BIOS and
reports if the two match.
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. The
BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST)
memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. The menu bar is shown below.
Maintenance Main
NOTE
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configuration mode. Section 2.9.2 on
page 49 tells how to put the board in configuration mode.
