15) FW Update Settings. Local FW Update Qualifier. Intel ME Firmware Local Update Qualifier Default Setting : Always Open Recommended Setting : Always Open 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.

Local ME FW updates allowed only until the ME is configured. Secure FW Update.
