BIOS User Interface Intel®Server Board S1200BT TPS  RelNum = Release Number, four decimal digits which are changed to identify distinct BIOS Releases. BIOS Releases are major collections of fixes and changes in functionality. -―0001‖ is the starting Release Number for all platform BIOS releases, for each distinct BoardFamilyID and OEMID. This number increases by 1 for each BIOS release. It does not increment for a Release Revision. It resets to 0001 when the Major Version changes, or for a different BoardFamilyID or OEMID.  BuildDateTime = Build timestamp - date and time in MMDDYYYYHHMM format: -MM = Two-digit month. -DD = Two-digit day of month. -YYYY = Four-digit year. -HH = Two-digit hour using 24-hour clock. -MM = Two-digit minute. For example, the following BIOS ID string is displayed on the POST diagnostic screen for BIOS Release 3 that is generated on August 13, 2010 at 11:56 AM: S1200BT.86B.01.00.0003.081320101156 The BIOS version in the Setup Utility is displayed without the time/date timestamp, which is displayed separately as ―Build Date‖: S1200BT.86B.01.00.0003 For the SMBIOS Type 0 BIOS Version field, the full BIOS ID string is used, including the complete timestamp. 6.1.1.3 OEM BIOS Differentiation Support There is an optional ―OEM Extension‖ segment which can be added by an OEM customer to distinguish an OEM-specific edited version of the BIOS from a standard Intel® version. This ―OEM Extension‖ will never be present in a standard BIOS supplied directly by Intel®. This can only be done using a restricted-distribution BIOS utility available though Technical Marketing OEM support channels. 6.2 HotKeys Supported During POST Certain ―HotKeys‖ are recognized during POST. A HotKey a key or key combination that is recognized as an unprompted command input, that is, the operator is not prompted to press the HotKey and typically the HotKey will be recognized even while other processing is in progress. The Server Board BIOS recognizes a number of HotKeys during POST. After the OS is booted, HotKeys are the responsibility of the OS and the OS defines its own set of recognized HotKeys. Following are the POST HotKeys, with the functions they cause to be performed. 48 Revision 1.0 Intel order number G13326-003

RelNum
= Release Number, four decimal digits which are changed to identify distinct
BIOS Releases. BIOS Releases are major collections of fixes and changes in
functionality.
-
―0001‖
is the starting Release Number for all platform BIOS releases, for each distinct
BoardFamilyID and OEMID. This number increases by 1 for each BIOS release. It
does not increment for a Release Revision. It resets to 0001 when the Major Version
changes, or for a different BoardFamilyID or OEMID.
BuildDateTime
= Build timestamp
–
date and time in MMDDYYYYHHMM format:
- MM = Two-digit month.
- DD = Two-digit day of month.
- YYYY = Four-digit year.
- HH = Two-digit hour using 24-hour clock.
- MM = Two-digit minute.
For example, the following BIOS ID string is displayed on the POST diagnostic screen for BIOS
Release 3 that is generated on August 13, 2010 at 11:56 AM:
S1200BT.86B.01.00.0003.081320101156
The BIOS version in the Setup Utility is displayed without the time/date timestamp, which is
displayed separately as ―Build Date‖:
S1200BT.86B.01.00.0003
For the SMBIOS Type 0 BIOS Version field, the full BIOS ID string is used, including the
complete timestamp.
6.1.1.3
OEM BIOS Differentiation Support
There is an optional ―OEM Extension‖ segment which can be added by an OEM customer to
distinguish an OEM-specific edited version of the BIOS from a standard Intel
®
version. This
―OEM Extension‖ will never be present in a standard BIOS supplied directly by Intel
®
. This can
only be done using a restricted-distribution BIOS utility available though Technical Marketing
OEM support channels.
6.2
HotKeys Supported During POST
Certain ―HotKeys‖ are recognized during POST. A HotKey a key or key combination that is
recognized as an unprompted command input, that is, the operator is not prompted to press the
HotKey and typically the HotKey will be recognized even while other processing is in progress.
The Server Board BIOS recognizes a number of HotKeys during POST. After the OS is booted,
HotKeys are the responsibility of the OS and the OS defines its own set of recognized HotKeys.
Following are the POST HotKeys, with the functions they cause to be performed.
