Description
Enables you to set the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) option. To enable
the Intel TXT option, virtualization technology and TPM Security must be enabled
with Pre-boot measurements. This option is set to Off by default. It is set On for
Secure Launch (Firmware Protection) support on Windows 2022.
Enables or disables the Intel Total Memory Encryption (TME) and Multi-Tenant (Intel
TME-MT). When option is set to Disabled, BIOS disables both TME and MK-TME
technology. When option is set to Single Key BIOS enables the TME technology.
When option is set to Multiple Keys, BIOS enables the TME-MT technology. This
option is set to Disabled by default.
Enables you to set the Intel Software Guard Extension (SGX) option. To enable
the Intel SGX option, processor must be SGX capable, memory population must be
compatible (minimum x8 identical DIMM1 to DIMM8 per CPU socket, not support on
persistent memory configuration), memory operating mode must be set at optimizer
mode, memory encryption must be enabled and node interleaving must be disabled.
This option is set to Off by default. When this option is to Off, BIOS disables the SGX
technology. When this option is to On, BIOS enables the SGX technology.
Enables (default) or disables the power button on the front of the system.
Sets how the system behaves after AC power is restored to the system. This option is
set to Last by default.
NOTE:
The host system does not power on until iDRAC Root of Trust (RoT) is
completed, host power on is delayed by minimum 90 seconds after the AC applied.
Sets the time delay for the system to power up after AC power is restored to the
system. This option is set to Immediate by default. When this option is set to
Immediate, there is no delay for power up. When this option is set to Random,
the system creates a random delay for power up. When this option is set to User
Defined, the system delay time is manually to power up.
Sets the User Defined Delay option when the User Defined option for AC Power
Recovery Delay is selected. The actual AC recovery time needs to add iDRAC root of
trust time (around 50 seconds).
Provides varying degrees of securing UEFI variables. When set to Standard (the
default), UEFI variables are accessible in the operating system per the UEFI
specification. When set to Controlled, selected UEFI variables are protected in the
environment and new UEFI boot entries are forced to be at the end of the current
boot order.
When set to Disabled, hides the Management Engine (ME), HECI devices, and the
system IPMI devices from the operating system. This prevents the operating system
from changing the ME power capping settings, and blocks access to all in-band
management tools. All management should be managed through out-of-band. This
option is set to Enabled by default.
NOTE:
BIOS update requires HECI devices to be operational and DUP updates
require IPMI interface to be operational. This setting needs to be set to Enabled to
avoid updating errors.
Enables or disables (default) the UEFI SMM security migration protections.
Enables Secure Boot, where the BIOS authenticates each pre-boot image by using the
certificates in the Secure Boot Policy. Secure Boot is set to Disabled by default.
When Secure Boot policy is set to Standard, the BIOS uses the system
manufacturer's key and certificates to authenticate pre-boot images. When Secure
Boot policy is set to Custom, the BIOS uses the user-defined key and certificates.
Secure Boot policy is set to Standard by default.
Configures how the BIOS uses the Secure Boot Policy Objects (PK, KEK, db, dbx).
If the mode is set to Deployed Mode, the available options are User Mode and
Deployed Mode. If the mode is set to User Mode, the available options are User
Mode, Audit Mode, and Deployed Mode
