TB0182.fm — R2100 BIOS Version 2.5 Shows Incorrect Version Number
OVERVIEW / ENVIRONMENT
The first BIOS splash screen for the R2100 BIOS version 2.5 shows an incorrect version number.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
After version 2.5 of the R2100 BIOS is successfully installed (please see
TB0116JS, R2100 BIOS Update
Version 2.5
), the first BIOS splash screen after startup displays the following strings:
BIOS:Phoenix Technologies LTD 6.00(F2.1)
Press <F2> to enter SETUP <F10> for Boot Options
The BIOS version is incorrectly reported in this screen.
The next screen displays these strings:
Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v.1.2.16
PXE 2.1 Build 083 (WfM 2.0)
This represents the PXE version and not the BIOS version.
The next BIOS splash screen is titled
PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility R2100 F2.5
and displays the correct
version number (2.5) and shows the correct BIOS date as
12/12/05
.
This reflects the correct version number and date.
When
F2
is pressed to enter the BIOS utility, the BIOS setup utility screens display the title
PhoenixBIOS
Setup Utility R2100 F2.5
which bears the correct version number of 2.5.
Only the initial splash screen shows the incorrect version number. This version number should be disre-
garded. Use the version number on the actual setup utility screens.
