Basic Input and Output System (BIOS) is a non-volatile firmware stored in the system ROM of a server. It is used to perform hardware initialization during server booting and provide runtime services for the operating systems. As shown in Figure 1-1, the BIOS interacts between the server hardware and the operating system (OS).

Configuring BIOS passwords

About this task

BIOS passwords include an administrator password and a user password.

By default, no passwords are set. After BIOS passwords are set, the system prompts for a password when you use shortcut keys to enter the BIOS setup utility, iFIST, boot menu, or PXE boot interface.

· If only the administrator password is set, you can enter this password to obtain administrator privileges or press Enter to obtain user privileges.

· If only the user password is set, you must enter this password as the power-on password at the startup of the server. To enter the BIOS setup utility, this password is also required and you can obtain administrator privileges.

· If both the administrator password and the user password are set, the following rules apply:

¡ If the two passwords are different, you can enter the administrator password to obtain administrator privileges or enter the user password to obtain user privileges.

¡ If the two passwords are the same, you can enter the password to obtain the administrator privileges.

Intel(R) Virtual RAID on CPU submenu

Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC) is a RAID solution specifically designed for NVMe-based SSDs.

If the VMD is disabled, the information about the NVMe SSDs with or without option ROM loaded will be displayed in Slot x:Port x submenu or NVMe Configuration submenu, respectively.

Prerequisites for using Intel VROC

Before using Intel VROC for RAID volume management on a CPU that has NVMe SSDs attached, use the following procedure to enable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) for that CPU:

1. Install an Intel NVMe VROC module. The system supports the following NVMe VROC modules:

¡ Intel® VROC Standard—Supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 10.

¡ Intel® VROC Premium—Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10.

¡ Intel® VROC Intel® SSD Only—Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 and only Intel NVMe SSDs.

2. Enable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) for that CPU:

a. Select Socket Configuration > IIO Configuration > Intel® VMD technology, and then enable VMD settings. For more information, see IIO Configuration menu.

b. After setting VMD successfully, select Advanced > Intel(R) virtual RAID on CPU, and then press Enter. Table 3-29 shows the Intel(R) virtual RAID on CPU submenu screen. The submenu items are described in Table 3-30.
