Overview of BIOS Features 
3.1 
Introduction 
The board uses an Intel BIOS stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory 
(SPI Flash) that you can update using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains 
the BIOS Setup program, POST, PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM 
information, 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 
BPX5810J.86A.
 
When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure 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. 
You can use the BIOS Setup program to view and change the BIOS settings for the 
computer. You access the BIOS Setup program by pressing the <F2> key after the 
Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins but before the operating system boot 
begins. The menu bar is shown:

NOTE 
The maintenance menu displays only when the board is in Configure mode. 
Section 2.3 shows how to put the board in Configure mode.
