Shadow video
BIOS ROM
Enabled
(1)
Disabled
The main logic board reserves an area of
DRAM for a copy of video BIOS ROM. This
DRAM called “shadow memory” is write-
protected and has the same addresses as the
video BIOS ROM locations. When you
shadow video BIOS ROM, the ROM image is
copied into an appropriate area in DRAM. This
increases the server’s performance because
the video BIOS instructions are in fast DRAM
instead of low speed ROM. For PCI VGA
devices, video BIOS is always shadowed in
C0000h-C7FFFh, regardless of this field’s
setting.
