Using UEFI BIOS
Using UEFI BIOS
Oracle Server X7-2 is equipped with a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)-
compatible BIOS, which runs with all operating systems that are supported on the server. The
BIOS firmware controls the system from power-on until an operating system is booted, and
allows you to configure, enable, disable, or manage system components.
This section includes the following information:
■
“Configuration Utilities for Add-In Cards” on page 228
■
“Configure and Manage BIOS Using Oracle ILOM” on page 228
■
“UEFI Secure Boot” on page 229
■
“Trusted Execution Technology” on page 229
Configuration Utilities for Add-In Cards
In UEFI BIOS, the configuration screens for the add-in cards appear as menu items in the BIOS
Advanced Menu as part of the standard BIOS Setup Utility screens. For example, if the Oracle
Storage 12 Gb SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal card is installed in the server, the configuration
utility for the HBA appears as a menu selection.
Configure and Manage BIOS Using Oracle ILOM
Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) includes BIOS configuration and management
tools. You can perform the following BIOS configuration tasks using Oracle ILOM:
■
View the BIOS configuration synchronization status and synchronize the configuration
parameters
■
Reset the factory defaults for the service processor (SP) and Oracle ILOM BIOS
■
Backup or restore the BIOS configuration
■
Enable UEFI diagnostics to run at system boot
For more information about Oracle ILOM BIOS configuration and management tools, refer to
the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 4.0 Documentation Library at:
