SYSTEM BIOS
✎
Refer to Chapter 3, “Processor/Memory Subsystem” for the SPD format and DIMM data specific
to this system.
The BIOS performs memory detection and configuration with the following steps:
1. Program the buffer strength control registers based on SPD data and the DIMM slots that are
populated.
2. Determine the common CAS latency that can be supported by the DIMMs.
3. Determine the memory size for each DIMM and program the GMCH accordingly.
4. Enable refresh.
8.3.4 Boot Error Codes
The BIOS provides visual and audible indications of a failed system boot by using the system’s
