3.1 Introduction
The Desktop Board D845EPI uses an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub (FWH)
and can be updated using a disk-based program.
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 BIOSs are identified as VA84510A.86A.
When the Desktop Board
’
s jumper is set to configuration 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.
