SMP 1.4

ACPI 4.0

The BIOS setup program is required to configure the blade hardware. This configuration is
necessary for operating the blade and its connected peripherals. The configuration data is
stored in the same flash device from where the board boots.

When you are not sure about configuration settings, restore the default values. This option is
provided in case a value has been changed and you wish to reset settings. To restore the default
values, press key in setup.

Update and Recovery

The ATCA-7370 has two different ways to update the BIOS.

Flash tool (FCU and ipmitool in Linux) is used for normal upgrade mode.

USB CD-ROM or USB flash device is used in BIOS recovery modes.

The BIOS contains online documentation which describes in detail the available menu
options. Therefore, the description in this manual is limited to the main BIOS functions.

Loading the BIOS default values affect all setup items and reset options that are
previously altered.

If you set the default values, the displayed default values take effect only after the BIOS
setup is saved and closed.
