Wired For Management (WFM)

Wired for Management is an industry -wide initiative to increase overall manageabilit y and
reduce total cost of ownership. WFM allows a server to be managed over a network. The
system BIOS supports the System Management BIOS Reference Specification, Version 2.4, to
help higher-level instrumentation software meet the Wired For Management Baseline
Specification, Revision 2.0 requirements.
5.3.1

PXE BIOS Support

The BIOS supports the EFI PXE implementation as specified in Chapter 15 of the Extensible
Firmware Interface Reference Specification , Version 1.1. To utilize this, the user must load the
EFI Simple Network Protocol driver. The UNDI driver is specific to the network controller and
must be included with the network card. The Simple Network Protocol driver can be obtained
from http://developer.intel.com/technology/framework.
The BIOS supports legacy PXE option ROMs in legacy mode and includes the necessary PXE
ROMs in the BIOS image for the onboard controllers. The legacy PXE ROM is required to boot
a non-EFI operating system over the network.
5.4

System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)

The BIOS provides support for the System Management BIOS Reference Specification, Version
2.4, to create a standardized interface for manageable attributes that are expected to be
supported by DMI-enabled computer systems. The BIOS provides this interface via data
structures through which the system attributes are reported. Using SMBIOS, a system
administrator can obtain the types, capabilities, operational status, installation date and other
information about the server components.

Security

The BIOS provides several securit y features. This section describes the security features and

operating model.
