Redundant BIOS Flash

Two redundant 64MBits, SPI EEPROMs are connected to PCH for the BIOS. Only one EEPROM at a time is
available for the PCH. If for some reason a BIOS update corrupts an EEPROM which prevents the CPU from
completing the boot sequence, the IPMC will swap the active SPI EEPROM and force a reboot.

Ethernet Interfaces

2.7.1

Fabric Interface

The fabric interface can be either 10GbE or 1GbE.

The AT8060 has boot from LAN capability (PXE) or iSCSI support on these ports. You can enable the option
from the BIOS Setup Program. Please refer to Section 5.1, AMI UEFI Setup Program.

The AT8060 has one dual port 10GbE controller (i82599EB) connected to the Fabric Interface. This controller
can also be used as a dual 1Gb. The controller auto-negociates between 10G-BASE-KX4 and 1G-BASE-KX.

Features high performance with TCP/IP and UDP/IP checksum offloading for IPv4 and IPv6, packet filtering,
and jumbo frame up to 15.5K.
