your notebook. General Warnings • Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn. • Excessive sound pressure from earphones or headphones can cause hearing damage or loss. Please adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer to settings other than the center position may increase the earphones or headphones output voltage, and therefore the sound pressure level. • Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow installation instructions closely. • To avoid personal injury from electric shock or fire: - Completely power down the computer when replacing memory modules, WLAN, BT, cleaning the computer, its components, or chassis, or performing operations requiring similar steps. To do this, first turn the power off at the power switch, remove the battery, and then disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet or from any other type of external power source, such as an external battery. - Do not operate the computer near water, for example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, by a swimming pool, or in the rain. - Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm. - Avoid using the wired modem or LAN during an electrical storm, as a remote risk of electric shock from lightning exists. - Do not push objects into the air vents or openings of your notebook or accessories. Doing so can short out interior components and may cause fire or electric shock. - When installing memory modules, ground you by touching a grounded conductive surface, such as a device with a grounded plug. Avoid touching the pins and leads on the memory module or internal circuitry of the computer. • When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface. • Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its edges, not its pins. • If the battery pack leaks and the fluid enter your eyes, do not rub them. Instead, rinse your eyes with clean running water and immediately seek medical attention. Otherwise, eye injury may be resulted. • If acid leaking from the battery pack contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash it away with running water. Otherwise, skin inflammation may occur. • Operate the computer at the recommended temperature range of +5 ℃ to +35℃ (+41℉ to +95℉). Store it at a temperature of -20℃ to +60℃ (+4℉ to +140℉). • Fan may cause hazardous to your body when it is running, please keep your body parts out of the motion path. Power Cord & Adapter Warnings • See the installation instructions before connecting to the power supply. • Use only the power cord indicated in this manual. • Power cord sets for use in other countries must meet the requirements of that country. Use the appropriate AC adapter and power cord for your locale. • If you use an extension cord with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable. • When using your power cord, make sure to position it around objects so it will not be cut or punctured. • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector by its strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned. • Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. • Use only the AC adapters that are approved for use with this computer. Use of another type of adapter may risk fire or explosion. • Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source. - 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan. • - 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan. - 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desktop or on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will affect its cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case. • Disconnect power cords and cables by grasping the connector, not by pulling on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Before you connect a cable, please make sure both connectors are correctly aligned. • To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet. • The socket outlet must be near to the unit and easily accessible. • Adapter information: Input voltage: 100-240Vac Input frequency: 50-60Hz Rating output current: 3.42A (65W) Rating output voltage: 19Vdc AC adapter plug is 3 pin Battery Pack Warnings Please keep the following items because it can be the cause of the burn, fire, and explosion: - Inquire (advise) of the manufacturer or seller immediately when the battery is too swelled to be observed by the naked eye and because this kind of battery can be dangerous. - Use the certified charger. - Do not expose to inside of car in summer. - Do not place on the quilt, electric-paper floor or carpet for long time. - Do not keep into sealed place as powered on - Make sure not the terminals of battery to contact with the metals such as necklace, coin, key or wrist watch. - Use the lithium secondary battery warranted by the manufacturer of portable devices. - Do not impact on the battery abnormally, for example, the act of dropping from on the high site. - Do not expose into high temperature more than 60°C - Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns. - Danger of explosion may occur if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer. - Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities for disposal instructions. - Do not use or leave the battery pack near a heat source. Heat can melt the insulation and damage other safety features, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite. - Do not immerse the battery pack in water or allow it to get wet. Its protective features can be damaged. Abnormal chemical reactions may occur, possibly leading it to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite. - Do not crush, disassemble, puncture, or incinerate the short external contacts of a battery pack. - Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with a metal object such as a wire. Short-circuiting may occur, leading the battery pack to leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite. - Do not use an apparently deformed or damaged battery pack, which may leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst and/or ignite. - If the battery pack leaks, gives off a bad odor, generates heat, becomes discolored or deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from the computer or charger and stop using it.

Keep your notebook and disks away from the objects that generate the strong magnetic fields, such as the stereo speakers. Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing the magnet too close to the disk can erase the important files. Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is especially important for the files you receive via email, disk or download from the Internet. You will need the special program to scan for viruses. For further information, please contact with your notebook dealer. To ensure HDD function and the integrity of the saved data, please follow the instructions below: Protect your notebook from any impact during its operation. Do not use your notebook during the transportation such as in the car. Do not put your notebook in the car if it is directly exposed under the sun. Do not place any heavy objects on the LCD monitor. Use the AC adapter coming with the package instead of other adapters. 2.2 Traveling Identifying Your Notebook Packing Your Notebook Traveling Tips If Your Notebook is Lost or Stolen 2.2.1 Identifying Your Notebook Attach a nametag or business card to your notebook, or use the permanent marker or stencil to write a unique identifying mark (such as your driver’s license number) on the case. Create a file on the Desktop called if found. Place information such as your name, address, and telephone number in this file. Contact your credit card company to ask if it offers coded identification tags. 2.2.2 Packing Your Notebook Remove any external devices attached to your notebook and store them in a safe place. Fully charge the main battery and any spare batteries you plan to carry with you. Turn off your notebook or put the computer into hibernate mode. Disconnect the AC adapter. Remove any extraneous items, such as paper clips, pens, and papers, from the 、 keyboard and then close the display. Pack your notebook and accessories in their carry case. Avoid packing the computer with items such as shaving cream, colognes, perfumes, or food. Protect your notebook, the batteries, and the hard drive from hazards such as extreme temperatures, dirt, dust, liquids, or overexposure to sunlight. Pack your notebook so that it does not slide around in the trunk of the car or in an overhead storage compartment. When traveling in the air, never check in your notebook as baggage. 2.2.3 Travel Tips If you are traveling abroad, you can carry the proof of ownership—or of your right for using your notebook if it is company-owned—to speed your passage through customs. Investigate the customs regulations of the countries you plan to visit and consider acquiring an international carnet (also known as a merchandise passport) from your government. Ensure that you know which electrical outlets are used in the countries you will visit, and prepare the appropriate power adapters. Check with your credit card company for information about any kinds of emergency travel assistance it offers to the users of the portable computers. When traveling in the air, please ensure that you have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on your notebook. Before using your notebook on the airplane, please verify that such usage is permitted. Some airlines forbid the use of electronic devices during the flight. All airlines forbid the use of electronic devices during taking-off and landing. Never pass your notebook through a metal detector. Send it through an X-ray machine, or have it manually inspected. 2.2.4 If Your Notebook is Lost or Stolen Call a law enforcement agency to report your notebook lost or stolen. Ask that a case number be assigned and write down the number, along with the name, address, and telephone number of the law enforcement agency. If possible, please obtain the name of the investigating officer. If your notebook belongs to the company, notify its security office. Chapter 3 Peripherals 3.1 SD/MMC/MS Cards Installing a SD/MMC/MS Card Removing a SD/MMC/MS Card Before removing an SD/MMC/MS card, stop it running from the configuration utility on the taskbar. Failure to do so could result in the data loss. 3.1.1 Installing a SD/MMC/MS Card SD/MMC/MS card, with hot-plug feature, allow you to install and remove cards when your notebook is running. The card will be detected automatically after being installed. Usually SD/MMC/MS Cards have a mark or symbol to show which end to insert into the slot. Insert the card according to the orientation symbol, and slide the card into the slot. Check the documents that came with your card if the orientation is unclear. Hold the SD/MMC/MS card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and the topside of the card facing up. Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into the connector. If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again. 3.1.2 Remove a SD/MMC/MS Card To remove the SD/MMC/MS card, please push it in gently and then it ejects automatically. Chapter 4 The BIOS Setup Program 4.1 Introduction The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor the operation of your notebook to your individual work needs. A ROM-based configuration utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters. These parameters are stored in nonvolatile battery backed-up CMOS RAM, which saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the computer is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS. Via easy-to-use menus, you can configure such items as: Boot devices The settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how your notebook performs. It is important, therefore, to first understand all the available options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use your notebook. This chapter guides you through the Setup program by providing the clear explanations for all Setup options. A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup program by the factory technicians. However, eventually you may want to customize your system to suit your own performance needs. It is recommended that you read this chapter and become familiar with the configurations that can be made in the BIOS. The next section explains how to move around in the Setup program, as well as how to specify and save your new settings. A brief discussion of the optional settings among the different submenus follows. 4.2 Navigating through the BIOS Setup Program Accessing the BIOS Setup Program Launching Submenus Saving Changes and Exiting the Setup Program The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu driven program, which means you can scroll through the various directories and make your selections among the various predetermined choices. If you accidentally configure a setting, use the BIOS hot keys to return to the previous value. The hot keys are discussed in more detail later in this chapter. When turning on your notebook for the first time you may be prompted to run the BIOS Setup program. A warning message may appear on the screen if the hardware configuration is changed or the POST fails. This message will inform you of any errors or invalid settings and prompt you to run the Setup program to correct the problem. Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to use the Setup program, at some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your notebook. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the Setup program so that your notebook can recognize these changes. The list below gives a few examples of reasons why you may want or need to run the BIOS Setup program. You have set up your notebook for the first time and you got a message stating that you should run the BIOS Setup program. You want to redefine the communication ports to prevent any conflicts. The few examples listed above are by no means complete. 4.3 System Controls 4.3.1Buttons 4.3.1.1 Power Button The activity of the power button is as follows: If system is Off/Hibernate: System will be turned on while Power switch is depressed by more than 100 ms If system is in Standby state: System will resume while Power switch is depressed by more than 100 ms. If system on with legacy mode: depress this button will turn off power. If system is running in ACPI OS, the power button acts as the sleep button, and let OS controls the policy of power button which is defined in Power Option under the OS. 4.3.1.2 Power Button Over-ride Holding down the Power Button for 4 seconds will cause an unconditional transfer to the off state without notifying the operating system. 4.3.1.3 Lid switch If the system is running under legacy mode: Closing the lid will turn off LCD backlight. If the system is running under ACPI mode: The operating system will determine what action to take when the lid is opened and closed. The function of lid switch will follow the OS setting in power management (Nothing, Standby or Hibernate). If nothing, the backlight must turn off when the lid is closed. 4.3.2 System status indicators Please refer to Keyboard BIOS specification. 4.4 Core BIOS Features 4.4.1Multi Boot The notebook can support Multi-Boot for selecting the boot sequence of Hard Drive, Removable Devices, CD-ROM/DVD Drive and Network in Setup. 4.4.2 Quiet Boot Quiet Boot replaces the customary technical messages during POST with a more visually pleasing and comfortable display (OEM screen). During POST, right after the initialization of VGA, The notebook displays an illustration called the OEM screen during system boot instead of the traditional POST screen that displays the normal diagnostic messages. The OEM screen stays up until just before the operating system loads unless: Pressing <Esc> to switch to the POST screen and the boot process will continue until the end of POST. Pressing <F2> to enter Setup. Pressing <F12> to enter Boot Menu. Whenever POST detects a non-terminal error, it switches to the POST screen near the end of POST, just prior to prompting for a password. If the BIOS or an option ROM request keyboard input, the system switches over to the POST screen with prompts for entering the information. POST continues from there with the regular POST screen. 4.4. 3 Boot Block The Flash ROM used in many systems today offer the customer the advantage of electronically reprogramming the BIOS without physically replacing the BIOS ROM. This advantage, however, does create a possible hazard: power failures or fluctuations that occur during updating the Flash ROM can damage the BIOS code, making the system unbootable. To prevent this possible hazard, many Flash ROM include a special non-volatile region that can never be erased. This region, called the boot block, contains a fail-safe recovery routine. If the boot block finds corrupted BIOS, it prompts the end user to insert a diskette, from which it loads several files that replace the corrupted BIOS on the Flash ROM with an uncorrupted one. 4.5 Thermal management Please refer to Keyboard BIOS specification. 4.6 Power Management for ACPI mode 4.6.1Introduction The notebook supports ACPI. The system will dynamically switch to ACPI mode for configuration and power management when an ACPI OS is loaded. When ACPI is not loaded and enabled, the power management function will be disabled. 4.6.2 System Time-outs If the system is running in ACPI mode, system Time-outs is handled by the operating system. BIOS time-outs are disabled. System time-outs are set using the control panel power applet. 4.6.3 System Power Management The overall system can be in one of the system power states as described below: ACPI mode Power Management Mech. Off (G3) All devices in the system are turned off completely. Soft Off (G2/S5) OS initiated shutdown. All devices in the system are turned off completely. Working (G0/S0) Individual devices such as the CPU and hard disk may be power managed in this state. S3 Sleeping State CPU set power down VGA Suspend New Card Suspend Audio Suspend Hard Disk Power Down ODD Power Down Super I/O Power Down S4 Sleeping State System Saves all system states and data onto disk prior to power off the whole system. 4.6.4 Device Power Management Under ACPI mode, the device specific power management supported by this notebook includes the CPU throttling, monitor power management and the hard disk. 4.6.4.1 CPU power management ACPI mode The operating system detects when the system is idle and places the CPU in one of the 3 CPU low power states (C1, C2, C3 up to C6) depending on how much latency it believes the system can afford. The C1 state is simply the CPU halt instruction. The C2 state is the CPU stop grant state. The C3 state is the CPU stops clock state. The CPU stays in this state until an interrupt occurs. 4.6.4.2 Hard Disk The operating system uses the spin down timer of the hard drive to set time-outs. The BIOS time-out of the hard disk must be disabled in ACPI mode. The user can sets the hard disk spin down time-out in the control panel power applet. 4.6.4.3 Display Device The monitor can be turned off after a period of no activity based on the settings of the OS. 4.6.4.4 System Wake Up Sources The table below lists the wake up events for all low power states: Events S3 S4 S5 Process required Internal Keyboard Yes No No No Internal pointing device No No No No USB No No No No Lid Switch No No No No Power button Yes Yes Yes No LAN (On board) Yes Yes(AC mode only) Yes(AC mode only) Yes RTC Yes Yes(AC mode only) Yes(AC mode only) Yes Critical low battery Yes No No Yes Field ‘Process required’ identifies that further process for the occurred events must be processed during wake up or resumes procedure. 4.6.4.4.1 LAN LAN (On board) S3(Standby): LAN is supported wake-up from S3 w/ AC/DC mode S4(Hibernation)/S5: LAN just only support wake-up from S4/S5 w/ AC only BIOS will enable or disable WOL based on device manager setting. 4.6.4.4.2 Real Time Clock Alarm The Real Time Clock alarm interrupt will wake the system from Standby (DC/AC), Hibernation (AC mode only) and S5 (AC mode only). 4.6.4.4.3 Critical Low Battery Critical low battery event can wake the system from Standby (DC mode) in ACPI mode. 4.6.5 Hibernation To support the hibernate state, the save to disk partition or file will be created by the operating system if the user select to enable the hibernation. It is the responsibility of the operating system to save the system state to a disk file and restore the system state when it is turned back on. 4.7 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) 4.7.1Introduction The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is a well-specified power management and configuration mechanism. It evolves the existing collection of power management codes, APM, PnP BIOS, and Etc. 4.7.2 ACPI Sleep Status BIOS must support the following sleep states – S3, S4 and S5. 4.7.3 Fast Resume BIOS must hands off the control to the operating system within the following time limits: Required S3->S0 2seconds *Measured using the Microsoft VTS (Velocity) tool. In addition, total resume time from S3 must be completed within 5 seconds. 4.7.4 Power State Transition Diagram The state transition diagram in ACPI mode is as follows: From (State) Leave By Condition Enter (State) S3 Power Button S0 Internal Keyboard RTC Alarm On board LAN (WOL)(*1) S3 Battery Critical Hibernation trip point reached S4 (*2) The timer timeout after the inactivity of selected timer in power scheme, System Hibernate, reaches the setting (*2) S4 Power Button S0 On board LAN (Only in AC mode) RTC Alarm(Only in AC mode) S5 Power Button S0 On board LAN (Only in AC mode) RTC Alarm(Only in AC mode) S0 Press Lid switch / Sleep Button (Fn+F2) / S3 Power Button (depends on ACPI OS setting) User selects the Standby Option in the Windows Shut Down menu ACPI OS timer expired Critical /Low battery (depends on ACPI OS setting) S0 Press Lid switch/ Sleep Button (Fn+F2) / S4 Power Button (depends on ACPI OS setting) User selects the Hibernate Option in the Windows Shut Down menu Critical /Low battery (depends on ACPI OS setting) S0 Press Lid switch / Power Button (depends on S5 ACPI OS setting) The Power Button is pressed for 4 seconds (Power Button Override) User selects the Shut down Option in the Windows Shut Down menu Critical /Low battery (depends on ACPI OS setting) Thermal critical shutdown performed by EC firmware Note1: The backlight of LCD should be off when WOL from S3 as it is remote wake up. Note2: the S3S4 transition results in the system transitioning to the S0 state first so OS can save the context to the hard disk. The system BIOS/KBC will not be involved for S3 S4 transition. The system power scheme will wake the machine from S3 and then transition to S4 Hibernation. The backlight of LCD is off during this transition. 4.7.5 Storage Devices and Batteries Possible storage devices are FDD, HDD, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Floppy Disk and Hard Disk, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM The BIOS must report the correct types of these devices if the drive is installed in the system during POST. Two devices, which belong to the same category, are not supported in this notebook. Batteries The BIOS must follow ACPI specification and report the correct number of the installed battery and status. 4.7.6 Bootable Device The system is capable of booting from onboard HDD, CD ROM, DVD-ROM, external USB Floppy and USB ATA Flash device. 4.7.7 Embedded controller The keyboard controller will act as the ACPI embedded controller and support the ACPI EC protocol and interface. 4.8 PC2001 The notebook must meet Microsoft Logo requirements in accordance with the PC2001 Guide and the Microsoft Logo test programs. 4.9 Miscellaneous Features 4.9.1BIOS ROM It depends on the platform design architecture (sharer ROM or Non-Sharer ROM, Intel ME SKU and so on). Non-Sharer ROM: SBIOS and EC BIOS have each SPI ROM chip separately, the EEPROM is inside EC BIOS area, BIOS will copy a full set of EEPROM data to SBIOS ROM at the first POST or EEPROM data is updated to speed up the EEPROM access. Sharer ROM: The EC BIOS, EEPROM and SBIOS are all inside one SPI ROM chip. 4.9.2 USB Support This feature allows the use of a USB keyboard to access BIOS Setup and to be used in DOS without additional drivers. USB floppy boot and Crisis Recovery from USB floppy is also supported. The driver provides other USB devices support after loading the operating system. 4.9.3 Flash utility – one BIOS ROM only The flash utility can be used to program both system and keyboard BIOS at the same time. 4.9.4 Crisis Recovery This feature provides an opportunity for system that cannot boot up. With a crisis floppy diskette, the system can perform crisis recovery by using internal PS2 keyboard. To perform crisis recovery using keyboard, do the following: Power off the system. Plug-in the USB floppy drive with crisis floppy diskette inserted. Hold down Fn + B keys. Plug-in AC adapter and make sure it is powered. Power on the system from off state (i.e. cold boot) while holding down <Fn+B> key. After POST, release <Fn+B> key. The system should boot from floppy and perform crisis recovery action. 4.9.5 VGA Support This section describes the expected behavior when a video monitor is connected to the VGA port on the notebook .The feature needs VGA driver support. The BIOS will use both the RGB and pin 11 methods to determine the presence of an external VGA monitor. Video modes supported on the secondary display path (need VGA driver support) Supported video modes and timings please refer to the technical reference of VGA vendor. In particular, text mode and standard VGA modes are not supported. 4.9.5.1 Brightness table This section describes the LCD Brightness control. The keyboard Fn+F4 and Fn+F5 keys, the AC/DC state and the brightness slide bar in Windows Vista Mobility Center control the LCD brightness. There shall be 11 levels of distinct brightness. Level 11 = Maximum Brightness possible. Level 1 = Minimum brightness without flickering (10 nits recommended, depending on inverter stability, type and display uniformity) *One setting level should be approximately 55 – 60 nits for Mobile Mark 2002 test. 4.9.5.2 Boot Display Algorithm This section describes the POST boot up display device with multi display device attached. Only support Local Flat Panel display during POST when LFP attached, the external display device (Include VGA, DVI, HDMI and DP) will not display until entering the OS. 4.9.6 Fast Boot The BIOS POST time should be within 10 seconds or less. The BIOS POST time is measured by Microsoft Velocity Test Suite. The POST timing test needs to include the worst-case drive configuration (internal or external) and worst-case memory configuration available via the retail channels. The POST time testing environment does not include attachable devices such as USB keyboards, external monitors, printers, PC Cards, Port Replicators and etc. 4.9.7 Wireless Control BIOS should report the wireless device (include WLAN and BT) exist and enable status to the EC namespace for the Kill Switch support. 4.10 Customer Specific Features 4.10.1Display of System Type and BIOS Version Number on Boot The development BIOS Version should start from 0.01 and the formal BIOS for MP should start from 1.00. 4.10.2 CMOS RAM management For UEFI Code, CMOS just reserve for kernel code/Chipset code, the variable storage had been replaced by flash part. 4.10.2.1 CMOS Requirement for Debug Purpose For debug purpose, BIOS could save data to CMOS NV0 (access by port 70h/71h) offset 48h-4Fh, 6Ch-6Fh and 70h-7Fh, NV1 (access by port 72h/73h) offset 40h-57h and 60h-7Fh which are reserved for OEM use. 4.10.3 System Management BIOS(SM BIOS) version 2.4 (DMI 2.0) Limited DMI 2.0 BIOS information is provided: BIOS version number is type 0 data item.

SLP 1.0) is used to activate Windows XP. To support it, BIOS needs to populate OEM string in the 0xF000 segment during POST. OEM Activation 2.0 (a.k.a. SLP 2.0) is used to activate Windows Vista. To support it, BIOS needs to populate ACPI SLIC table during POST. For projects supports Windows 7, SLP 2.1 is required to support. MS claims the Windows marker is MS’s IP and cannot appear on non-Windows OS SKUs. An EEPROM flag OS_SKU (refer Sec.4.10.4) is defined to indicate the machine is shipped with Windows or non-Windows OS. The flag is programmed in the factory and BIOS needs to read this flag when populating OEM string/ACPI SLIC table. If the flag indicates the machine is shipped with non-Windows OS, BIOS will not load Windows marker structure in ACPI SLIC table. KMS Activation support. To support the KMS activation, the SLIC table should be removed from the ACPI table. To support multi customer, BIOS should remove the SLIC table as default, and populate the SLIC table if customer enter the OEM ID, OEM table ID and OS_SKU in the EEPROM. The customer should create customized BIOS with SLP2.0/2.1 market and public key at the same time to active Vista/Window 7. Please refer to the “How to update OEM SLP” for the detail instruction of customized BIOS creation. 4.10.6 Multi Customer Logo Support To support Multi customer Logo, BIOS will merge dummy OEM logo in BIOS as default, and customer should create customized BIOS with OEM Logo. Please refer to the “How to update OEM Logo” for the detail instruction of customized BIOS creation. 4.11 Invoking setup The setup function can be invoked by pressing F2 when “Press <F2> to enter Setup” message is prompted on the bottom of screen during POST.
