Smart Server Manager v1.2 - Best Practices Before a new task can be created, the admin should upload the desired BIOS package they wish to update. This package can be one of three options: an Acer update to a standard BIOS or BMC firmware, or a user defined template created with the Acer SCE tool. The SCE tool allows administrators to change BIOS settings as needed - for example disabling Intel Hyper Threading or power saving functionality, and than save the changes as a new '.txt' file which can be updated across the network. Important for certain environments, such as high-performance computing, this tool may not be crucial for everyone and Acer recommends using the standard, most updated BIOS firmware wherever possible. When selecting the new package to upload, be sure to select the BIOS file of the firmware updates. The .zip file can be uploaded in total. Smart Server Manager will detect the appropriate DOS-based .bat file to flash. 30

Before a new task can be created, the admin should upload the desired BIOS package they wish to update.
This package can be one of three options: an Acer update to a standard BIOS or BMC firmware, or a user
defined template created with the Acer SCE tool. The SCE tool allows administrators to change BIOS
settings as needed – for example disabling Intel Hyper Threading or power saving functionality, and than
save the changes as a new ‘.txt’ file which can be updated across the network. Important for certain
environments, such as high-performance computing, this tool may not be crucial for everyone and Acer
recommends using the standard, most updated BIOS firmware wherever possible.
When selecting the new package to upload, be sure to select the BIOS file of the firmware updates. The
.zip file can be uploaded in total. Smart Server Manager will detect the appropriate DOS-based .bat file to
flash.
