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.

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.

Above 4G Decoding |
Select Enabled or Disabled to enable or disable decoding of 64-bit PCIe modules in a 4 GB or greater address space. As a best practice, enable this option if the PCIe module has a 4 GB or higher-capacity VRAM. For example, disabling this option can cause an M60 or K80 GPU to get stuck in the EarlyPOST 100% phase, preventing you from accessing the BIOS setup menu or the OS. |
Enabled |
SR-IOV Support |
Select Enabled or Disabled to enable or disable support for PCIe single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV). SR-IOV virtualizes one physical PCIe module into multiple virtual PCIe modules, each of which can be bound to a virtual machine, thus allowing multiple accesses to the physical PCIe module. With SR-IOV support enabled, the BIOS allocates I/O resources if a PCIe module supports SR-IOV. With SR-IOV support disabled, the OS allocates I/O resources if a PCIe module supports SR-IOV. |
Enabled |
BME DMA Mitigation |
Select whether to enable Bus Master Enable (BME) DMA mitigation. This feature can prevent DMA side-channel attacks. Options: · Enabled—Enables the DMA access operation for PCIe channels. With this feature enabled, DMA side-channel attacks cannot be prevented but the performance of PCIe devices is normal. · Disabled—Disables the DMA access operation for PCIe channels, which will block DMA access and cause performance degradation of PCIe devices. |
