We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "BIOS",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PCI expansion systems allow easy upgrades from
Amplicon, which we summarised at the time by saying "PCI Express to PCI Express expansion rackmount systems provide a simple way of expanding the available PCI Express (PCIe) slots of computers, workstations and servers".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CompactPCI blade SBCs shrink to 3U from
Thales Computers: "The ITC-320 series is a range of 3U CompactPCI blade SBCs using a high performance and long term supply processing chipset from the Intel Embedded Architecture".
In December 2007, we covered the news from VersaLogic Corp
concerning its Cobra
- take a look at Pentium-based SBCs go to extremes
which says: "Single board computers combine high performance with maximum reliability, guaranteed 5-year availability, RoHS compliance and tolerance for extreme conditions".
Take a look also at the news release from Kontron UK, System board hosts next-generation processors,
as well as SBC extends to extremes from VersaLogic Corp,
and Compact module embeds full PC functionality from BVM.
