The '''MJOLNIR Mark VI BIOS''' is the basic input/output system, standard firmware interface for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI]] armor.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''Heads-Up Display''</ref>
 
==Introduction==
The Mark VI BIOS is firmware, designed to be the first code run by the MJOLNIR Armor when activated. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the heads-up display, energy shield systems and other hardware.

The BIOS handles most of the MJOLNIR's software functions when initiated. Updates to the BIOS allows newer hardware to be supported and function.

BIOS versions can be viewed though the Mark VI magnification system when no weapon is being held or no zoom supported weapon is being held or at the top of the [[Heads-up display]].

This firmware succeeds the [[Mark V BIOS]] for the previous [[MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor and is succeeded by the [[MJOLNIR GEN2 BIOS]] for the subsequent [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR [GEN2]]] armor system.

This BIOS was created by [[Cortana]] sometime after the Battle of Installation 00 and was used by John-117 at least until he returned to Earth on [[2557#July|July 26, 2558]]. This also received a soft patch for Covenant technology.

==Trivia==
*In the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' to the right of the Mark VI BIOS was a long line of binary code. The code translates to [[David Candland]], Bungie's interface designer.
*In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the Mark VI BIOS is used as a placeholder for the [[Mark V BIOS]].
