Abstract: A BIOS includes a core and multiple modules. The modules include both those that are platform specific and those that are not platform specific. Each module has a standard interface that allows the core (or other module) to call the module. A platform vendor constructs a BIOS by selecting modules from one or more vendors, which when executed can select modules that are suitable for the platform the BIOS resides in.

Abstract translation: BIOS包括核心和多个模块。 这些模块包括那些具有平台特性的模块，以及不具有平台特性的模块。 每个模块都有一个标准接口，允许核心（或其他模块）调用该模块。 平台供应商通过从一个或多个供应商中选择模块来构建BIOS，当被执行时可以选择适合于BIOS所在平台的模块。

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for managing data read operations of a read command such as a read command packaged in an Internet Small Computer System Interface packet. In one embodiment, a network adapter has a microengine which obtains read target data from a cache coupled to the network adapter to respond to a read command packaged in a packet sent by an initiator over a network. If the network adapter cache does not have the target data addressed by the read command, the read command is forwarded to a target controller coupled to a storage unit to process the read command.

Abstract: A management request from a management client to perform an operation on a storage element includes an instance identifier identifying the storage element. A translator translates the instance identifier to a storage identifier that uniquely identifies the storage element. The method identifying the operation and the storage identifier is encapsulated in a storage command and forwarded to the storage element.
