Local FW Update Qualifier.
Intel ME Firmware Local Update Qualifier
Default Setting
Recommended Setting
This option allows the BIOS to override the ME Firmware Locale Update option
and to permit local updates.
By default, the system BIOS allows for an unlimited number of local ME FW
updates. However, the administrator can modify the local update setting with
this ME FW Local Update Qualifier.
"Always Open" is the default and allows for as many local updates as the
system BIOS allows, which is unlimited.
Choosing "Never Open" or "Restricted" will add the Intel ME Firmware Local
Update option, which can be set to Enable or Disable. By default it is
Disabled. This option along with the Qualifier dictates whether ME FW local
updates are allowed.
"Never Open" ignores what is set in the system BIOS and follows the Intel ME
Firmware Local Update option.
"Restricted" ignores what is set in the system BIOS and allows local ME FW
update until the ME is configured.
