3.1 Introduction
The D850MD and D850MV boards use an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the FWH and can be
updated using a software utility. The FWH contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, APM, the
PCI autoconfiguration utility, and Plug and Play support.
The D850MD and D850MV boards support system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to
execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected system memory.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOS is identified as MV85010A.86A.
