Appendix A
BIOS Console Commands
All typed commands sent to the BIOS Console will be echoed on the display. The BIOS Console
formats all output as 8-bit ASCII text. All input and output values are decimal except where
noted. Each command is terminated with an ASCII carriage return <CR>. Command
parameters are separated by ASCII spaces and as a result of this, spaces are not allowed when
typing command strings into the BIOS Console. The BIOS console will support double -quoting to
delimit strings that need spaces.
The BIOS console supports the following commands. Each command is described in detail in the
sections below.
ClearScreen
ReadFRU
ReadSEL
Reboot
GetBootCount
GetLastState
GetLastSensor
GetReasonCode
GetSerialConfig
ClearScreen - After typing this command into the BIOS Console the display will clear.
ReadFRU - This command will return the entire SMBIOS data structure which contains all
FRU information. All output for this command will be hexadecimal bytes. See
the System Management BIOS Reference Specification, Version 2.3 for the
format of FRU fields.
ReadSEL - This command will return a range of system event log (SEL) entries defined by:
ReadSEL <X> <Y>
<X> is the index of the first SEL entry in the range with 0 defined as the most
recent entry.
<Y> is the index of the last SEL entry in the range that you which to view.
All output for this command will be hexadecimal bytes. An example of the ReadSEL command is
shown in Figure 1 below. Note that to read the entire SEL, <X> should be set to 0 and <Y>
should be set to a large number.
