cover pins 2 and 3, then power on the system.
6. If the new BIOS is healthy, the system boots with the new BIOS.

3.12 OEM Binary
A firmware volume is reserved for OEMs. The OEM firmware volume is used to contain the
OEM logo and is updated independently of other firmware volumes. The OEM firmware volume
hosts a firmware file system. The size of the OEM firmware volume is 192 KB.
3.12.1 Splash Logo
The OEM FV can include the OEM splash logo and may be updated using the Change Logo
utility. If an OEM logo is located in the firmware volume, it is used in place of the standard Intel
logo. The logo file can be identified based on the file name.
The logo file must follow the standard framework format for graphical images. The size must not
exceed 800 x 512 pixels. The number of colors cannot exceed 256, although the actual number
of colors may be much fewer due to image size constraints.
3.13 Boot Device Selection
The Boot Device Selection phase is responsible for controlling the booting of the system. The
boot option variables are set by an operating system during operating system installation or
manually added by the user through the Boot Maintenance Manager of the Setup utility. The
Boot Maintenance Manager provides the capability to make permanent changes to the boot
order. It is also possible to change the first boot option for a single boot.
