12.2 BIOS
The basic input/output system (BIOS) is the most basic software loaded to a
computer hardware system. The BIOS provides an abstraction layer for the
operating system (OS) and the hardware to interact with the keyboard, display,
and other input/output (I/O) devices.
The BIOS data is stored on the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) flash memory. The
BIOS performs a power-on self-test (POST), initializes CPU and memory, checks
the I/O and boot device, and finally boots the OS. The BIOS also provides the
advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) and hot swap.
The Huawei Purley-based server is developed based on Insyde code base and uses
a proprietary BIOS. It provides a variety of in-band and out-of-band configuration
functions as well as high scalability, and supports customization.

Support for DNS and LDAP
The iBMC supports domain name system (DNS) and Lightweight Directory
Application Protocol (LDAP) to implement domain management and directory
service.
Image backup
The iBMC works in active/standby mode to ensure system reliability. If the
active iBMC is faulty, the standby iBMC takes over services immediately.
Intelligent power management
The iBMC uses dynamic power saving to reduce operational expenditure
(OPEX).
