Determine and test the amount of extended memory available. Determine if memory exists by writing to a few strategic locations and see if the data can be read back. If so, perform an address-line test and a RAM test on the memory. Save the total extended memory size in the CMOS at cmosExtended. Perform an address line test on A0 to the amount of memory available. This test is dependent on the processor, since the test will vary depending on the width of memory (16 or 32 bits). This test will also use A20 as the skew address to prevent corruption of the system memory. Jump to UserPatch1. See "The POST Component." Set cache registers to their CMOS values if CMOS is valid, unless auto configuration is enabled, in which case load cache registers from the Setup default table.

Test for unexpected interrupts. First do an
STI for hot interrupts. Secondly, test the NMI
for an unexpected interrupt. Thirdly, enable
the parity checkers and read from memory,
checking for an unexpected interrupt.
59h
Register POST Display Services, fonts, and
languages with the POST Dispatch Manager.
5Ah
Display prompt “Press F2 to enter SETUP.”
5Bh
Disable CPU cache.
5Ch
Test RAM between 512K and 640K.
60h
Determine and test the amount of extended
memory available. Determine if memory
exists by writing to a few strategic locations
and see if the data can be read back. If so,
perform an address-line test and a RAM test
on the memory. Save the total extended
memory size in the CMOS at cmosExtended.
62h
Perform an address line test on A0 to the
amount of memory available. This test is
dependent on the processor, since the test
will vary depending on the width of mem-
ory (16 or 32 bits). This test will also use A20
as the skew address to prevent corruption
of the system memory.
64h

nent."
66h
Set cache registers to their CMOS values if
CMOS is valid, unless auto configuration is
enabled, in which case load cache registers
from the Setup default table.
