Fail safe boot ROM

Fail Safe Boot ROM is supplied with the board. This feature is programmed into a surface mount
flash chip. The programmed boot ROM is ROM-DOS™. Fail Safe Boot ROM allows the system
to boot without any attached storage devices. i.e. floppy, IDE, SSD. Installing jumper JP5 will force
the cpuModule to use fail safe boot ROM, as well as load the default BIOS settings. This configu-
ration allows you to boot to non-volatile onboard ROM-DOS™.
