3.1 Introduction

The Desktop Board D845GLVA 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.

The Desktop Boards’ compliance level with Plug and Play
