Option Description
TPM Information Changes the operational state of the TPM. This option
is set to No Change by default.
TPM Firmware Indicates the rmware version of the TPM.
TPM Hierarcy Enable, disable, or clear the storage and endorsement
hierarchies. When set to Enabled, the storage and
endorsement hierarchies can be used.
When set to Disabled, the storage and endorsement
hierarchies cannot be used.
When set to Clear, the storage and endorsement
hierarchies are cleared of any values, and then reset to
Enabled.
Intel(R) TXT Enables you to set the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) option. To enable the Intel TXT option,
virtualization technology and TPM Security must be enabled with Pre-boot measurements. This option is set to O
by default.
When TPM 2.0 is installed, TPM 2 Algorithm option is available. It enables you to select a hash algorithm from
those supported by the TPM (SHA1, SHA256). TPM 2 Algorithm option must be set to SHA256, to enable TXT.
Power Button Enables you to set the power button on the front of the system. This option is set to Enabled by default.
AC Power Recovery Sets how the system behaves after AC power is restored to the system. This option is set to Last by default.
AC Power Recovery
Delay
Enables you to set the time that the system should take to power up after AC power is restored to the system.
This option is set to Immediate by default.
User Dened Delay
(60 s to 240 s)
Enables you to set the User Dened Delay option when the User Dened option for AC Power Recovery Delay is
selected.
UEFI Variable
Access
Provides varying degrees of securing UEFI variables. When set to Standard (the default), UEFI variables are
accessible in the operating system per the UEFI specication. When set to Controlled, selected UEFI variables are
protected in the environment, and new UEFI boot entries are forced to be at the end of the current boot order.
In-Band
Manageability
Interface
When set to Disabled, this setting will hide the Management Engine's (ME), HECI devices, and the system's IPMI
devices from the operating system. This prevents the operating system from changing the ME power capping
settings, and blocks access to all in-band management tools. All management should be managed through out-of-
band. This option is set to Enabled by default.
NOTE: BIOS update requires HECI devices to be operational and DUP updates require IPMI interface to
be operational. This setting needs to be set to Enabled to avoid updating errors.
Secure Boot Enables Secure Boot, where the BIOS authenticates each pre-boot image by using the certicates in the Secure
Boot Policy. Secure Boot is set to Disabled by default.
