BIOS 32-bit Services
|
Standard BIOS 32-bit Service Directory Proposal v0.4
|
PCI 3.0 Support
|
Full BIOS support for PCI Express through industry standard interfaces.
|
ATAPI
|
ATAPI Removable Media Device BIOS Specification Version 1.0.
|
BBS
|
BIOS Boot Specification v1.01.
|
WMI Support
|
WMI is Microsoft's implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) for Windows. WMI is fully compliant with the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Common Information Model (CIM) and WBEM specifications.
|
BIOS Boot Spec 1.01+
|
Provides more control over how and from what devices the workstation will boot.
|
BIOS Power On
|
Users can define a specific date and time for the system to power on.
|
ROM Based Computer Setup Utility (F10)
|
Review and customize system configuration settings controlled by the BIOS.
|
System/Emergency ROM Flash Recovery with Video
|
Recovers system BIOS in corrupted Flash ROM.
|
Replicated Setup
|
Saves BIOS settings to USB flash device in human readable file. Repset.exe utility can then replicate these settings on machines being deployed without entering Computer Configuration Utility (F10 Setup).
|
SMBIOS
|
System Management BIOS 2.7.1, for system management information.
|
Boot Control
|
Disables the ability to boot from removable media on supported devices.
|
Memory Change Alert
|
Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed.
|
Thermal Alert
|
Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:
- NORMAL - normal temperature ranges.
- ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown.
- SHUTDOWN - excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer without warning before hardware component damage occurs.
|
Remote ROM Flash
|
Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console.
|
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface)
|
Allows the system to enter and resume from low power modes (sleep states).
Enables an operating system to control system power consumption based on the dynamic workload.
Makes it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system.
Supports ACPI 2.0 for full compatibility with 64-bit operating systems.
|
Ownership Tag
|
A user-defined string stored in non-volatile memory that is displayed in the BIOS splash screen.
|
Remote Wakeup/Remote Shutdown
|
System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location.
|
ASF 2.0 Compliant
|
No.
|
Instantly Available PC(Suspend to RAM - ACPI sleep state S3)
|
Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time.
|
Remote System Installation via F12 (PXE 2.1) (Remote Boot from Server)
|
Allows a new or existing system to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system.
|
ROM revision levels
|
Reports the system BIOS revision level in Computer Configuration Utility (F10 Setup). Version is available through an industry standard interface (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can use and report this information.
|
System board revision level
|
Allows management SW to read revision level of the system board.
Revision level is digitally encoded into the HW and cannot be modified.
|
Start-up Diagnostics(Power-on Self-Test)
|
Assesses system health at boot time with selectable levels of testing.
|
Auto Setup when new hardware installed
|
System automatically detects addition of new hardware.
|
Keyboard-less Operation
|
The system can be booted without a keyboard.
|
Localized ROM Setup
|
Common BIOS image supports System Configuration Utility (F10 Setup) menus in 12 languages with local keyboard mappings.
|
Asset Tag
|
The user or IT administrator to set a unique tag string in non-volatile memory.
|
Per-slot Control
|
Allows I/O slot parameters (option ROM enable/disable, bus latency) to be configured individually.
|
Adaptive Cooling
|
Control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics.
|
Pre-boot Diagnostics
|
(Pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED.
|
Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT)
|
AMT 8.0; Allows workstation status to be monitored on a remote console
|
Digitally and Cryptographically Signed BIOS
|
Helps to prevent the installation of unauthorized versions of a BIOS (a rogue BIOS) from a virus, malware, or other code that could lead to compromised system security, data access, physical service, or even system board replacement.
|
Master Boot Record Protection
|
A feature in the HP BIOS that prevents changes and/or infections to the Master Boot Record. Useful in protecting from viruses.
|
Boot Block Emergency Recovery Mode (BIOS Recovery)
|
The HP BIOS offers a write-protected boot block ROM that provides recovery from a failed flashing of the computer BIOS. This special recovery mode prevents the system from becoming unusable or "bricked" when a BIOS update is interrupted.
