Initialization of the chipset. The MCH and ICH registers will be set to the
most conservative values by the BIOS to make sure the system boots up
properly.
X X LX
LED4 LED3 LED2 LED1
The BIOS is now decompressing the BIOS code into shadow RAM. Most of
the BIOS code is stored in the BIOS Flash ROM IC in compressed form to
save space. At boot-up this code is decompressed and stored to RAM for
faster execution.
X X L L
LED4 LED3 LED2 LED1
The checksum for the decompressed code is calculated and checked. The
checksum is calculated by adding all data bytes together and storing the result
in the BIOS ROM. If the calculated checksum is different from the checksum
stored in the ROM, the code stored in the FLASH ROM is corrupted.
XLX X
LED4 LED3 LED2 LED1
The chipset (MCH and ICH) registers are set to the values selected by the user.
XLXL
LED4 LED3 LED2 LED1
Now the BIOS will set the CPU Vcore voltage and the FSB bus frequency to
the user selected value. If the system stops at this point, the settings selected by
the user are inappropriate. Please select more conservative settings.

The Hardware Monitor Functionality is initialized. The settings the user
selected in the BIOS for the Hardware Monitor are written into the Hardware
Monitor registers.

set, and more important, the CPU micro-code is written into the CPU.

Now the BIOS will scan the peripheral busses for add-on cards. This includes
the PCI and AGP busses. If any add-on cards are detected, the resources it
requires are assigned by the BIOS in accordance with user settings.
