Basic Input Output System (BIOS) This section describes BIOS embedded software for the SAI2 board set. The BIOS contains ® standard PC-compatible basic input/output (I/O) services, standard Intel server features, plus the SAI2 system-specific hardware configuration routines and register default settings, embedded in Flash read-only memory (ROM).
The flash ROM contains system initialization routines, BIOS strings, BIOS Setup, and run-time support routines. The exact layout is subject to change, as determined by Intel. A 16-KB user block is available for user ROM code and another 128-KB block is available for custom logos.
SAI2 Server Board TPS Basic Input Output System (BIOS) Setup Utility This section describes the ROM resident setup utility that provides the means to configure the platform. The setup utility is part of the system BIOS and allows limited control over on-board resources such as the parallel port and mouse.
