HP BIOS
This chapter summarizes the
Setup
program and BIOS of the
HP Kayak
XU700 PC Workstation
. The POST routines are described in the next
chapter.
The BIOS is based on the core Phoenix BIOS, which includes 4 M/bits of
flash memory, support for PCI 2.2 Specification, suspend to RAM, and RIMM
or DIMM memory modules.
The BIOS includes a Boot ROM for the 3COM 3C905C and HP LAN cards.
The System ROM contains the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, and the
BIOS: the System BIOS, video BIOS, and low option ROM. This chapter,
together with the subsequent chapter, gives an overview of the following
aspects:
•
Menu-driven
Setup
with context-sensitive help, described next in this
chapter.
•
The address space, with details of the interrupts used, described at the
end of this chapter.
•
The Power-On Self-Test or POST, which is the sequence of tests the
computer performs to ensure that the system is functioning correctly,
described in the next chapter.
The system BIOS is identified by the version number
IX.WM
, where:
•
IX
is a two-letter code indicating that it is for the Kayak XU700.
•
W
is a one-digit code indicating the HP entity.
•
M
is the major BIOS version.
An example of a released version would look similar to the following the
example: IX.W1.05.
The procedure for updating the System ROM firmware is described on
