18.5.3.18 Type 126 Structure – Inactive
The System Management BIOS Reference Specification, Version 2.5 indicates any static
structure describing a feature(s) not supported in the current system configuration may be
marked as Type 126 Inactive.
The BIOS marks any static structures describing any system attributes not supported by the
current system configuration as Inactive in accordance with the System Management BIOS
Reference Specification, Version 2.5.
18.5.3.19 Type 127 Structure — End-of-Table
The SMBIOS Type 127 structure identifies the end of the structure table that might be earlier
than the last byte within the buffer specified by the structure. To ensure backward compatibility
with management software written to previous versions of the SMBIOS specification, the
structure table is still reported as a fixed-length. The entire length of the table can still be
indexed. If the end-of-table indicator is used in the last physical structure in a table, the field's
length is encoded as four.

18.6 Security

The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the server setup. Both user
and administrator passwords are supported by the BIOS.
18.6.1 Password
The maximum length of the password is seven characters. The password cannot have
characters other than alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9). It is case sensitive. Once set, a password
can be cleared by changing it to a null string.
An Administrator password must be entered in order to set the user password. If only one
password is set, this password is required to enter BIOS Setup.
