12.2 BIOS
The basic input/output system (BIOS) is the most basic software loaded to a
computer hardware system. The BIOS provides an abstraction layer for the
operating system (OS) and the hardware to interact with the keyboard, display,
and other input/output (I/O) devices.
The BIOS data is stored on the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) flash memory. The
BIOS performs a power-on self-test (POST), initializes CPU and memory, checks
the I/O and boot device, and finally boots the OS. The BIOS also provides the
advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) and hot swap.
The Huawei Purley-based server is developed based on Insyde code base and uses
a proprietary BIOS. It provides a variety of in-band and out-of-band configuration
functions as well as high scalability, and supports customization.
