to allow recovery of the BIOS in the event of a catastrophic failure
(power failure during BIOS update). The BIOS supports the
following features:
X
CPU/memory speed auto-detection
X
DMI BIOS Support: Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
allows users to download system hardware-level
information such as CPU type, CPU internal/external
frequencies, and memory size.
X
Green Function: APM/ACPI compliant Power management
via BIOS, activated through mouse/keyboard movement or
other wake-up events.
X
PCI Plug and Play support.
X
Intel pre-boot execution environment (PXE) support
