3 Overview of BIOS Features 3.1 Introduction The Intel Compute Stick uses an Intel BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support. The initial production BIOSs are identified as SCCHTAX5.86A. The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer, and to update the system BIOS.
Intel Compute Stick STCK1AW32SC and STCK1A32SC Technical Product Specification 3.4 BIOS Updates The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel World Wide Web site: • • Intel Express BIOS Update Utility, which enables automated updating while in the Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
Regulatory Compliance and Battery Disposal Information For information about Refer to BIOS recovery http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-kits/intelcompute-stick/000005902.html 3.6 Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from local storage or a removable drive. The default setting is for the local storage to be the first boot device. 3.6.1 Booting Without Attached Devices.
Intel Compute Stick STCK1AW32SC and STCK1A32SC Technical Product Specification 3.6.4 Power Button Menu The Power Button Menu is accessible via the following sequence: 1. System is in S5 (not G3) 2. User pushes the power button and holds it down for approximately 3 seconds 3. Release immediately 4. User releases the power button before the 4-second shutdown override If this boot path is taken, the BIOS will use default settings, ignoring settings in VPD where possible.
