Abstract

See full text

An apparatus is described to provide a fault tolerant power-on of a computer system, using a BIOS memory containing a primary power-on system level configuration program for a computer system and a separate memory which contains a subset of the primary power-on system level configuration program. The subset program is accessed automatically, without human intervention, responding to a checksum detector of the BIOS memory data.
