  • Using system configuration data to customize bios during the boot-up process
    Patent number: 6367007

The computer also includes an electronic memory device that stores BIOS code including code sections associated with operation of the first and second optional components. A processor executes the BIOS code and, upon doing so, is programmed to access the configuration data to determine if the first and second optional components are installed, to execute the section of the BIOS code associated with the first optional component only if the first optional component is installed, and to execute the section of the BIOS code associated with the second optional component only if the second optional component is installed.
