Additional BIOS Features
The conga-QA6 uses a congatec/AMI AptioEFI that is stored in an onboard SPI Flash 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 QTOPR1xx, where QTOP is the congatec internal BIOS project name for conga-QA6, 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.

to the BIOS.

can be found on the congatec AG website at www.congatec.com.
