Option
Description
In-Band
Manageability
Interface
When set to
Disabled
, this setting will hide the Management Engine's (ME), HECI devices, and the system's IPMI
devices from the operating system. This prevents the operating system from changing the ME power capping
settings, and blocks access to all in-band management tools. All management should be managed through out-of-
band. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
NOTE:
BIOS update requires HECI devices to be operational and DUP updates require IPMI interface to
be operational. This setting needs to be set to Enabled to avoid updating errors.
