5.2.2 Boot Process
While performing the functions of the traditional BIOS, Aptio 4.x Core follows the firmware
model described by the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI. The Framework refers to
the following Boot Phases:
 Security (SEC) - initial low-level initialization
 Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) - CPU and memory initialization 1

 Boot Device Selection (BDS) - system setup, pre-OS user interface & selecting a bootable
device (CD/DVD, HDD, Network, …)
During the boot process board information messages will be displayed, e.g.
