7.2 Introduction
The Intel® Entry Server Board SE7221BA1-E 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 BIOS’s are identified as BA72210A.86B.0155.2005.0110.1040.
When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure 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 BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer.
The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test
(POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. The menu bar is
shown below.
