The BIOS supports and administrator password to restrict access to the BIOS setup
menu to qualified and trusted personal, only.
2.4.12.2 BIOS Defaults
The BIOS comes with a set of configuration parameters when shipped by Advantech
referred to as
“Optimized Defaults” or “factory defaults”. The user can change BIOS
settings via the setup menu either temporarily or permanently by saving the changes as
“User defaults”.
The BIOS loads the User defaults automatically if these have been defined via the
setup. If no User defaults have been defined; the BIOS will load the factory defaults.
2.4.12.3 PCIe Tree
The BIOS also performs an enumeration of all PCIe resources, builds a bus/device map
and assigns resources to the PCIe devices. Most OSes perform a reallocation of
resources during start up. However, the PCIe bus/device map will not be changed by
the OS. The table below gives an overview of the PCIe devices and their corresponding
system function:
2.4.13 Advanced Platform Management
Advanced Platform Management is supported via an integrated BMC running IPMI2.0
compliant system management firmware. Several enhancements have been made to
standard white box server management code to enhance reliability and serviceability of
the system including but not limited to:
- Improved thermal management to cover special scenarios as well as fan degradation
/ failure
- Chassis intrusion and FRU presence detection
- Redundant BMC and BIOS flashes for maximum reliability
- Fail safe BMC and BIOS upgrades using industry standard HPM.1 mechanisms and
tools including automatic rollback on an upgrade failure
- Remote updates of firmware as long as primary power is connected to the unit
- BIOS Watchdog for reliable POST process and improved POST code sensor
- Time synchronization between the BMC and x86 host at startup for consistent event
logs
- System FRU Information synchronization to the host via standard DMI tables
- Large system event log for efficient troubleshooting
- Capability to log system events from the x86 host
- Enhanced security (more information available under NDA)
For a detailed description of Advanced Platform Management features, the BMC
commands and sensor lists please refer to the SKY-8101 BMC User
’s Guide.
