3.10 BIOS Security Features............................................................................................109
The D815EFV and D815EPFV boards use an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub
(FWH) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The FWH contains the BIOS Setup
program, POST, APM, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.
The D815EFV and D815EPFV boards support system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to
execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOS is identified as EA81520A.86A.
When the D815EFV or D815EPFV board’s jumper is set to configuration mode and the computer
is powered-up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the BIOS and
reports if the two match.
