Parameter
Description
ROM Selection
[Use Current ROM]
Switch to Backup ROM
Use this option to revert the server to a previous
BIOS ROM image. The backup image is the BIOS
ROM image that was used prior to the last flash
event.
Embedded Video
Connection
[Auto]
Always Disabled
Always Enabled
When configured for Auto mode, the external video
connection to the embedded video controller is
automatically disabled to save power when a
monitor is not attached. It is automatically enabled
when a monitor is attached, including when the
server is operating. When configured for Always
Disabled, the external video connection to the
embedded video controller is disabled, and a
monitor connected to this port does not display
except during system boot. This can be used for
security reasons. When configured for Always
Enabled, the external video connection to the
embedded video controller is always enabled. This
option is only required if a monitor is attached with
a monitor detection that does not function properly
(making AUTO mode not work properly). Note: This
option does not affect Integrated Remote Console
video. Also, if you press F9 or F11 during system
boot, the configured video connector behavior is
overridden, and the video console remains
enabled. This lets you reconfigure the Embedded
Video Connection option even if the video is
disabled.

CDN Suppot LOMs Only
Disabled
Use this option to select the level of Consistent
Device Naming. On supported operating systems,

under the OS environment.
