3.1 Introduction
The Desktop Board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub (FWH) and can be

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 BIOS is identified as BT84510A.86A.
