Feature Description
UEFI UEFI is a standard firmware interface designed to replace BIOS.
Mellanox UEFI Network driver allows boot over network via PXE
(Preboot eXecution Environment). This network driver allows remote
boot over InfiniBand or Ethernet, or Boot over iSCSI (Bo-iSCSI) in
UEFI mode, and also supports the SecureBoot standard. The UEFI
Network driver allows IT managers the flexibility to deploy servers
with a single adapter card into InfiniBand or Ethernet networks while
also enabling booting from LAN or remote storage targets. In addition
to boot capabilities, Mellanox UEFI Network driver provides firmware
management and diagnostic protocols compliant with the UEFI
specification.
For further information, refer to the Mellanox PreBoot Drivers User
Manual.
Supported in MCX4111A-ACUT and MCX4121A-ACUT
Secure Firmware A “Secure firmware update” is the ability of a device to verify digital
signatures of new firmware binaries, in order to assure that only
officially approved versions can be installed from the host, the network
or a Board Management Controller (BMC). The firmware of devices
with “secure firmware update” functionality (secure FW), restricts
access to specific commands and registers that can be used to modify
the firmware binary image on the flash, as well as commands that can
jeopardize security in general.
For further information, refer to the MFT User Manual.
Supported in MCX4121A-ACST.
