8 BIOS Setup
BIOS is the basic input/output system, which is the basic program code loaded in the
motherboard chipset. It stores the computer’s most important input/output program,
POST program and system auto-boot program. It provides the most basic and most direct
hardware settings and control, detects the boot device, boots the system or other preboot
execution environment.
Inspur Purley platform server is developed on the basis of AMI Codebase, supporting Legacy
and UEFI operating environments, with abundant in-band and out-of-band configuration
functions and scalability. It can meet the customization needs of different customers.

parameters before understanding their denotations.
3. The common settings are introduced in detail in this chapter, but less common ones are
not.
4. The BIOS content varies according to different configurations of the products; hence the
