My first initial is A.
It would be under "Network Devices" that is if the computer you are checking from is connected to the same network.Or the Network Address!!
The Harvard Mark I was commisioned by the US Navy and built by IBM and represents the first electromechincal computer capable of executing a complex list of instructions.
Most, but not all, use a boot PROM.
When the computer is first turned on, (or booted), the BIOS program is in control. After performing a few system checks, the BIOS program turns the computer over to an operating system like Windows XP.
Initial means first, so first report.
