A server (102) initiates a process (102A) as a result of the program code (108) contained in storage (104) and a packet (110) is sent across a network (100). Multiple-mode chips (140A-E) implement kernel basic input/output (BIOS) system processes (144A-D) for peripheral devices (120A,B, 122,124), while a minimum boot codes processor of the initial configuration of the chips, accepting a packet, has a group identification corresponding to their own group identification for processing. After receiving the external signal, the integrated central processor unit then executes the instructions. AN Independent claim is included for a method of reversibly configuring networked devices |
