Additional BIOS Features
The conga-TS170 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI that is stored in an onboard Flash Rom chip and can be updated using the congatec System
Utility, which is available in a DOS based command line, Win32 command line, Win32 GUI, and Linux version.
The BIOS displays a message during POST and on the main setup screen identifying the BIOS project name and a revision code. The initial
production BIOS is identified as BQSLR1xx or BHSLR1xx for conga-TS170, where:
•
R is the identifier for a BIOS ROM file,
•
1 is the so called feature number and
•
xx is the major and minor revision number.
The BQSL binary size is 16 MB and the BHSL binary size is 8 MB.
