FWH Flash BIOS
The FWH Flash BIOS component is a key element in providing a new security and manageability
infrastructure for the PC platform. The device operates under the FWH Flash BIOS interface and
protocol. The hardware features of this device include a unique Random Number Generator (RNG),
register-based locking, and hardware-based locking.
ISA Bridge
For legacy needs, ISA support is an optional feature of the Intel 820E chipset. Implementations that
require ISA support can benefit from the enhancements of the Intel 820E chipset, while “ISA-less”
designs are not burdened with the complexity and cost of the ISA subsystem.
The Intel 820E chipset platform with optional ISA support takes advantage of an external component
supplier’s ISA bridge, which is a PCI-to-ISA bridge that resides on the PCI bus of the ICH2.
