Reboot on BIOS Settings Change
|
When the server is rebooted after you change one or more BIOS settings.
—If you enable this setting, the server is rebooted according to the maintenance policy in the server's service profile.
For example, if the maintenance policy requires user acknowledgment, the server is not rebooted and the BIOS changes are not
applied until a user acknowledges the pending activity.
—If you do not enable this setting, the BIOS changes are not applied until the next time the server is rebooted,
whether as a result of another server configuration change or a manual reboot.
|
Serial Port A
|
Whether
serial port A is enabled or disabled. This can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—The
serial port is disabled.
-
—The
serial port is enabled.
|
Quiet Boot
|
What the BIOS displays during Power On Self-Test (POST). This
can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—The
BIOS displays all messages and Option ROM information during boot.
-
—The
BIOS displays the logo screen, but does not display any messages or Option ROM
information during boot.
|
Post Error Pause
|
What happens when the server encounters a critical error during
POST. This can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—The
BIOS continues to attempt to boot the server.
-
—The
BIOS pauses the attempt to boot the server and opens the Error Manager when a
critical error occurs during POST.
|
Front Panel Lockout
|
Whether
the power and reset buttons on the front panel are ignored by the server. This
can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—The
power and reset buttons on the front panel are active and can be used to affect
the server.
-
—The
power and reset buttons are locked out. The server can only be reset or powered
on or off from the CIMC GUI.
|
Consistent Device Naming (CDN)
|
Whether
Consistent Device Naming (CDN) is enabled. CDN allows Ethernet interfaces to be
named in a consistent manner, making Ethernet interface names more uniform,
easy to identify, and persistent when adapter or other configuration changes
are made.
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—CDN
is disabled for this BIOS policy.
-
—CDN
is enabled for this BIOS policy.
|
Resume AC On Power Loss
|
How the server behaves when power is restored after an
unexpected power loss. This can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—The
server is powered on and the system attempts to restore its last state.
-
—The
server is powered on and automatically reset.
-
—The
server remains off until manually powered on.
|
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) Link Frequency
|
The
Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) link frequency, in megatransfers per second
(MT/s). This can be one of the following:
|
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) Snoop Mode
|
This can
be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—The
snoop is always spawned by the home agent (centralized ring stop) for the
memory controller. This mode has a higher local latency than early snoop, but
it provides extra resources for a larger number of outstanding transactions.
-
—This
mode is available only for processors that have 10 or more cores. It is the
best mode for highly NUMA optimized workloads.
-
—The
distributed cache ring stops can send a snoop probe or a request to another
caching agent directly. This mode has lower latency and it is best for
workloads that have shared data sets across threads and can benefit from a
cache-to-cache transfer, or for workloads that are not NUMA optimized.
|
Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
|
Whether
TPM is used to securely store artifacts that are used to authenticate the
server. This can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—TPM
is used for authentication.
-
—TPM
is not used for authentication.
|
Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
|
Whether
TXT is used for data protection. TXT can be enabled only after TPM, Intel
Virtualization technology (VT) and Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed
I/O (VTDio) are enabled. If you only enable TXT, it implicitly enables TPM, VT,
and VTDio also. This can be one of the following:
-
—The
BIOS uses the value for this attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the
server type and vendor.
-
—TXT
is used for extra security.
-
—TXT
is not used for extra security.
