Each configuration file is an .ini file that is associated with the target server. The
files are a list of strings that represent the configuration settings.

"About deployment tasks and jobs for Dell servers"
If your server has a BMC (baseboard management controller), Deployment Solution
for Dell also lets you change the configuration settings of the BMC. If your server
does not have a BMC and you attempt to set the BMC configuration settings, you
set the DRAC instead.
This task lets you view and change all of the BIOS configuration settings.

This task supports tokenization. You can use tokens in the configuration file.
Tokens are a text substitution for the information that is stored in the CMDB. For
example, %COMPNAME%. Deployment Solution for Dell queries the CMDB for
the information that matches any tokens in your configuration file. Those tokens
are then replaced dynamically with the correct information.
You can access this task from the Create New Job or Task page.

"Creating a deployment task for a Dell server"
