6.48.2 Format of the User Binary Information Structure
Table 67. User Binary Information Structure
Offset Bit definition
0 Bit 0 1 if mandatory user binary, 0 if not mandatory.
If a user binary is mandatory, it will always be executed. If a platform supports a disabling of the user
binary scan through CU, this bit will override CU setting.
Bit 1 1
If runtime presence required (other than SMM user binary portion, SMM user binary will always be
present in runtime irrespective of setting of this bit)
0, if not required in runtime, and can be discarded at boot time.
Bit 7:2 reserved for future expansion
1 – 0fh Reserved for future expansion
If this structure is not present, that is, if the mask bit 01 is not set, the system BIOS assumes
that the user binary is not mandatory, and it is required in runtime.
6.48.3 OEM Splash Screen
The SE7501WV2 BIOS supports a splash screen during POST; a 16-KB region of flash ROM is
available to store the OEM logo in compressed format. The BIOS contains the standard Intel
logo. This logo could be stored in the same area as the OEM logo or it could be stored in a
separate area. Using the iFLASH utility, this region can be updated with an OEM supplied logo
image. The OEM logo must fit within a 640 X 384 size to accommodate the progress meter at
the top and hotkey messages at the bottom of the screen. If an OEM logo is flashed into the
system, it will override the built-in Intel
®
logo.
Intel supplies utilities that compress and convert a 16-color bitmap file into a logo file suitable for
iFLASH. Intel also supplies a blank logo. If the logo area is updated with a blank logo, the
system behaves as if there is no logo and will always display the POST diagnostic screen.
6.48.4 Localization
The SE7501WV2 server BIOS supports English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. Intel
provides translations for all of the strings in the supported languages. The language can be
selected using BIOS setup. BIOS setup can detect which languages are included in the
language database and present the correct selections to the user.
