About the BIOS

Introduction

The Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) is a non-volatile firmware stored in the system ROM of a server. It is used to perform hardware initialization during server booting and provide runtime services for the operating systems. As shown in Figure 1, the BIOS interacts between the server hardware and the operating system (OS).

Configuring BIOS passwords

About this task

BIOS passwords include a boot password, an administrator password, a user password, and a drive password for BIOS Setup. By default, no passwords are set.

·     A boot password is required each time the server starts up.

·     An administrator password or a user password is required each time you enter the BIOS Setup screen.

If only the administrator password is set, you can enter this password to obtain administrator privileges. The system prompts for the password when you use shortcut keys to enter the BIOS setup utility, iFIST, boot menu, or PXE boot interface.

If only the user password is set, you can enter this password to obtain user privileges. Table 4 shows the menu items that are accessible in the BIOS with the user privileges.

Setting the BIOS boot mode

About this task

The server supports two BIOS boot modes: legacy mode and UEFI mode.

By default, the boot mode is UEFI. For operating systems that support only the legacy mode, change the boot mode to legacy.

Restrictions and guidelines

An operating system can run only in the BIOS boot mode under which the system was installed. For example, operating systems installed in legacy mode cannot start up in UEFI mode, and operating systems installed in UEFI mode cannot start up in legacy mode.

The UEFI mode is not supported in an 32-bit operating system. You can install an operating system in Legacy mode. Only operating systems that support UEFI mode can be installed in UEFI mode.

Procedure

1.     Enter the BIOS setup screen. For more information, see "Entering the BIOS setup utility."

2.     As shown in Figure 16, select Boot > Boot mode select, and press Enter.

3.     Select LEGACY or UEFI, and press Enter.

Figure 16 Setting the BIOS boot mode

 

4.     Press F4 and Enter to save the configuration. The server will restart automatically.

Setting the server boot order

About this task

Perform this task to change the server boot order.

The default boot order is as shown in Figure 17. The Fixed Boot Order Priorities submenu lists the server boot order.

Restrictions and guidelines

If the server has more than one boot devices of the same type, the Fixed Boot Order Priorities list displays only the first boot device. To change the first boot device, enter the corresponding priorities submenu of the boot device, and then set the first boot option. For example, to change the first boot option for hard disks, enter the UEFI Hard Disk Drive BBS Priorities submenu as shown in Table 91Figure 109, and then set the first boot option.

Procedure

1.     Enter the BIOS setup utility. For more information, see "Entering the BIOS setup utility."

2.     As shown in Figure 17, select the Boot menu.

If iFIST is enabled, after the server is initialized, you can enter the iFIST system from the BIOS. If iFIST is disabled, the iFIST Boot shortcut will not be displayed on the BIOS set utility, and you cannot start iFIST by pressing F10.

Procedure

1.     Enter the BIOS setup utility. For more information, see "Entering the BIOS setup utility."

2.     Select Boot > iFIST Boot, select Enabled or Disabled, and then press Enter, as shown in Figure 18.

Figure 18 iFIST boot option

 

3.     Press F4, and then select Ok to save the configuration and exit the BIOS utility.

The configuration takes effect after the server reboots.

Logging in to iFIST

Press F10 on the BIOS boot screen to access the iFIST GUI. iFIST login screen opens after iFIST starts up.

If the boot screen does not display the iFIST shortcut, make sure iFIST is enabled. For more information, see "Enabling or disabling iFIST."

Trusted Computing submenu

The Trusted Computing submenu displays the information for trusted computing modules (including TPMs and TCMs) accessed by the server. You can configure related settings on this page. The displayed submenu screen might vary by the installed security module.

·     A TPM is a microchip built into the system board. It has an independent processor and storage unit for storing encrypted information (such as keys), providing encryption and installation certification services for the server. A TPM is typically used in conjunction with drive encryption technology, such as Microsoft Windows BitLocker drive encryption technology. BitLocker uses TPM to help protect the Windows operating system and user data, ensuring that data tampering does not occur even when the data is unattended, lost, or stolen. For more information about BitLocker, visit the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com.

·     A TCM is a hardware module that provides cryptographic operation functions for a trusted computing platform and has a protected storage space.

 

 

NOTE:

If you press F3 to restore defaults, the TCM and TPM settings will not be restored to defaults.

 

As shown in Figure 69 and Figure 70, you can configure TCM and TPM settings on the Trusted Computing submenu. The submenu items are described in Table 53.
