Option Description
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.
Intel(R) AES-NI Improves the speed of applications by performing encryption and decryption by using the Advanced Encryption
Standard Instruction Set (AES-NI). This option is set to Enabled by default.
System Password Enables you to set the system password. This option is set to Enabled by default and is read-only if the password
jumper is not installed in the system.
Setup Password Enables you to set the system setup password. This option is read-only if the password jumper is not installed in
the system.
Password Status Enables you to lock the system password. This option is set to Unlocked by default.
TPM Security
NOTE: The TPM menu is available only when the TPM module is installed.
Enables you to control the reporting mode of the TPM. The TPM Security option is set to O by default. You can
only modify the TPM Status TPM Activation, and the Intel TXT elds if the TPM Status eld is set to either On
with Pre-boot Measurements or On without Pre-boot Measurements.
When TPM 1.2 is installed, the TPM Security option is set to O, On with Pre-boot Measurements, or On
without Pre-boot Measurements.
When TPM 2.0 is installed, the TPM Security option is set to On or O. This option is set to O by default.
TPM Information Enables you to change the operational state of the TPM. This option is set to No Change by default.
TPM Status Species the TPM status.

Activate, the TPM is enabled and activated. When set to Deactivate, the TPM is disabled and deactivated. When
set to Clear, all the contents of the TPM are cleared. This option is set to None by default.
CAUTION: Clearing the TPM results in the loss of all keys in the TPM. The loss of TPM keys may aect
booting to the operating system.
This eld is read-only when TPM Security is set to O. The action requires an additional reboot before it can take
eect.
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.
