available as central modules, interface modules or mass storage (mass storage modules).
Extensible Firmware Interface
Refers to the central interface between the firmware, the individual components of a
computer and the operating system. EFI is located logically beneath the operating system
and represents the successor to PC BIOS, focusing on 64-bit systems.
