Option Description
Management Devices The Management Devices menu will only be displayed in the Advanced menu when the BIOS
detects multiple management options.
This option is for installed NIC cards that support ASF or DASH. Use the Management Devices
menu to select if the BIOS management operations will be through the embedded solution or one
of the installed NIC cards.
Management
Operations
Allows you to set:
●
MEBx Setup Prompt (enable/disable). Enabling this feature displays the CTRL+P prompt
during POST. Disabling this feature prevents the prompt from being displayed. However,
pressing Ctrl+P still accesses the utility used to configure manageability settings.
The CTRL+P function activates the MEBx Setup menu. If the Setup Password is configured,
the user will be prompted to correctly enter it before being allowed to enter the MEBx Setup.
It the password is entered incorrectly three times, the MEBx Setup will not be activated.
● SOL Character Echo (enable/disable). Some remote consoles print remotely-entered
characters which can cause the characters to appear twice (once when entered remotely
and once when echoed back from local client video). This option allows the administrator to
have the SOL terminal emulator suppress echoing remotely-entered characters to the local
video display.
●
SOL Terminal Emulation Mode (enable/disable). Selects between VT100 and ANSI SOL
terminal emulation. SOL terminal emulation mode is only activated during remote AMT
redirection operations. The emulation options allow administrators to select which mode
works best with their console.
● SOL Keyboard (enable/disable). Disable or enable client keyboard during SOL sessions.
Some remote remediation may involve having the local client boot a remote image provided
by an administrator. This option determines if the BIOS will keep the local keyboard enabled
or disabled for possible local client interaction. If the local keyboard is disabled, all keyboard
input is only accepted from the remote source.
Recovering the Configuration Settings
This method of recovery requires that you first perform the Save to Removable Media command
with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility before Restore is needed. (See
Save to Removable Media
on page 9 in the Computer Setup—File table.)
NOTE: It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration settings to a a USB
flash media device or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to emulate a diskette drive) and
save the device for possible future use.
To restore the configuration, insert a USB flash media device or other storage media emulating a
diskette with the saved configuration and perform the Restore from Removable Media command
with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility. (See
Restore from Removable Media on page 9 in the
Computer Setup—File table.)
