Flash Memory Implementation<br />
The Intel E28F800B5-T70 Flash component is organized on board as<br />
1024 K x 8 (1 MB). While a typical PC BIOS image including video and<br />
LAN boot ROM code normally fits in 512 K, the board supports a<br />
1 MB Flash ROM. The Flash device contains the PC System BIOS along<br />
with the Video BIOS and LAN boot ROM which compresses the ROM<br />
images into a single binary image.<br />
The Flash device is divided into four areas, as described below.<br />
System Address Flash Memory Area<br />
F0000H FFFFFH 64 K Main BIOS<br />
EE000H EFFFFH 8 K System BIOS <strong>Re</strong>served during boot<br />
ED000H EDFFFH 4 K Plug and Play ESCD Storage Area<br />
E0000H ECFFFH 52 K System/VGA BIOS <strong>Re</strong>served during boot<br />
BIOS Upgrades<br />
Flash memory makes distributing BIOS upgrades easy. Anewversion<br />
of the BIOS can be installed from the hard disk, network, integrated<br />
CD-ROMorthroughanexternalCD-ROM.<br />
The disk-based Flash upgrade utility, PHLASH.EXE, ensures the<br />
upgrade BIOS extension matches the target system to prevent<br />
accidentally installing a BIOS for a different type of system.<br />
Setup Utility<br />
The ROM-based Setup utility allows the system configuration to be<br />
modified without opening the system for most basic changes. The<br />
Setup utility is accessible only during the Power-On Self Test (POST)<br />
by pressing the key after the POST memory test has begun and<br />
before boot begins. A prompt may be enabled that informs users to<br />
press the key to access Setup.<br />
Note: An external alphanumeric keyboard is required to run the BIOS<br />
CMOS Setup Utility on units not equipped with a touch screen.
