How is data input to this memory?

Chipset

CMOS

BIOS control only with input such as BIOS F2 menu user configuration settings (e.g., boot
order)

Backplane (X8)

Storage Controller
Processor

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is
executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (DRMK, USC, OS DUPs
utility support) containing the firmware file and the loader. Backplane loaded with bad
firmware will not provide backplane and HDD status.

Control Panel

Internal USB

Either read-only license key or OS control copies

Power Supply

PSU Microcontroller

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is
executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (Unified Server
Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader. PSUs loaded with bad firmware will
not provide PSU functional behavior and result in PSU system faults.

PDB Microcontroller

N/A

PERC 6/i Adapter

PERC NVSRAM Config
Data

Storage firmware controls this data

PERC firmware

Loading flash memory requires a vendor-provided firmware file and loader program which is
executed by booting the system from a floppy or OS-based executable (DUPs, Unified Server
Configurator) containing the firmware file and the loader. Storage adapters loaded with bad
firmware will not provide storage controller behavior.

PERC Cache RAM

Embedded storage firmware controls the use of storage cache data.

FRU
