Introducing the Vectra VL800 BIOS
Introducing the Vectra VL800 BIOS
The BIOS is based on the core Phoenix BIOS, which includes 4 Mbits of flash
memory, support for PCI 2.2 Specification, suspend to RAM and RIMM
memory modules.
The BIOS includes a Boot ROM for the 3COM 3C905C LAN card.
The system ROM contains the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, and the
BIOS, which consists of the system BIOS, video BIOS, and low option ROM.
This and the next chapter give an overview of the following:
• Menu-driven Setup with context-sensitive help
• The address space, with details of the interrupts used
• The Power-On Self-Test or POST, which is the sequence of tests the
computer performs to ensure that the system is functioning correctly.
The system BIOS is identified by the version number IQ.01.xx.yy , where:
• IQ indicates that it is for the HP Vectra VL800
• 01 indicates that it is a Vectra PC
• xx is the BIOS release version
• yy indicates the language of the BIOS, for example, US for international
English, IT for Italian.
An example of a released version would look similar to the following the
example: IQ.01.04.US.
The procedure for updating the system ROM firmware is described on
page 113 .
