Overview
The server’s BIOS defines the compatibility of the server with expansion hardware.
All systems configured by Nortel Networks manufacturing are shipped with at least the minimum

hardware standards and options.

The following are tested and supported releases of BIOS and firmware for the server:
•
Intel BIOS release: P07_64 or later

If these releases are not being used on the HMS 400 server, they must be updated.
To determine the BIOS release
