Background

A computer may include a host system and one or more memory subsystems attached to the host system. The host system may have a Central Processing Unit (CPU) that communicates with a memory subsystem to store and/or retrieve data and instructions. The Memory subsystem may be a Memory Module, such as a Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM), which refers to a series of modules including Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). The DIMM is usually in the form of a printed circuit board with several to several tens of DRAM chips soldered to a fabricated circuit, and is used in personal computers, workstations, and servers.

The BIOS of the current host system is executed by a Flash memory (Flash memory) on a circuit board, which records basic input/output settings of a computer, and the circuit board further includes an SPD for controlling the DRAM. The configuration file of the BIOS program includes information about parameter settings of each hardware corresponding to a plurality of parameters, and whether the hardware is started. Conventionally, when a computer is manufactured, configuration files of these BIOS programs are mostly pre-recorded in a memory, then an operator enters a BIOS menu when starting up, sets parameters manually according to hardware configuration of a currently connected host system, finally stores the configuration files, and reloads a new BIOS configuration file after restarting.

However, the manual setting of the BIOS configuration file is a troublesome and inefficient task for computer development engineers, manufacturing and testing personnel, and the design, manufacturing and testing efficiency is not good because various hardware configured in the host system must be checked one by one. In addition, it is also difficult for the user of the general computer to set the parameters of the BIOS menu, and if the settings are not proper, the abnormal condition of the host system may occur and the host system cannot be booted smoothly. Moreover, since the configuration file loaded by the BIOS program during booting is stored in the host system in the prior art, the problem of configuration file damage or improper tampering is also easily caused, which affects the subsequent booting operation of the host system. Therefore, it is generally not suitable for the actual use of the user.
