BIOS and UEFI
BIOS overview
The BIOS enables enterprise class security and manageability. You can use Dell Command | Configure (DCC) and Edge Device
Manager (EDM) to configure the BIOS settings on the Edge Gateway.
DCC is factory installed in the Edge Gateway and configures the BIOS settings. It consists of a Command Line Interface (CLI) to
configure various BIOS features.
EDM enables you to perform remote management and system configuration. By using the EDM cloud console, you can view and
configure the BIOS settings. For more information about the Edge Device Manager, see

Flashing BIOS

operating system installed.

USB Invocation script
The Edge Gateway 3000 Series come in headless configurations—that is, configurations without any video output. Certain basic
system administration tasks traditionally accomplished by the BIOS Setup program are not possible without video. Therefore, in order
to provide the ability to perform these system administration tasks, Edge Gateways contain a facility for running a script file from a
USB flash drive containing a limited set of BIOS commands.
