Option TPM Advanced Settings Description This field is read-only when TPM Security is set to Off. The action requires an additional reboot before it can take effect. This setting is enabled only when TPM Security is set to ON. Table 33. TPM Advanced Settings Details Option TPM PPI Bypass Provision TPM PPI Bypass Clear Description When set to Enabled allows the Operating System to bypass Physical Presence Interface (PPI), prompts when issuing PPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) provisioning operations. This option is set to Disabled by default. When set to Enabled allows the Operating System to bypass Physical Presence Interface (PPI), prompts when issuing PPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) provisioning operations. This option is set to Disabled by default. Intel(R) TXT Enables you to set the Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) option. To enable the Intel TXT option, virtualization technology and TPM Security must be enabled with Pre-boot measurements. This option is set to Off by default. Power Button Enables you to set the power button on the front of the system. This option is set to Enabled by default. AC Power Recovery Sets how the system behaves after AC power is restored to the system. This option is set to Last by default. AC Power Recovery Delay Enables you to set the time that the system should take to turn on after AC power is restored to the system. This option is set to Immediate by default. User Defined Enables you to set the User Defined Delay option when the User Defined option for AC Power Recovery Delay (60 s to 600 Delay is selected. s) UEFI Variable Access Provides varying degrees of securing UEFI variables. When set to Standard (the default), UEFI variables are accessible in the operating system per the UEFI specification. When set to Controlled, selected UEFI variables are protected in the environment, and new UEFI boot entries are forced to be at the end of the current boot order. In-Band Manageability Interface When set to Disabled, this setting hides the Management Engine's (ME), HECI devices, and the system's IPMI devices from the operating system. This prevents the operating system from changing the ME power capping settings, and blocks access to all in-band management tools. All management should be managed through out-ofband. This option is set to Enabled by default. NOTE: BIOS update requires HECI devices to be operational and DUP updates require IPMI interface to be operational. This setting needs to be set to Enabled to avoid updating errors. Secure Boot Enables Secure Boot, where the BIOS authenticates each pre-boot image by using the certificates in the Secure Boot Policy. Secure Boot is set to Disabled by default. Secure Boot Policy When Secure Boot policy is set to Standard, the BIOS uses the system manufacturer key and certificates to authenticate pre-boot images. When Secure Boot policy is set to Custom, the BIOS uses the user-defined key and certificates. Secure Boot policy is set to Standard by default. Secure Boot Mode Enables you to configure how the BIOS uses the Secure Boot Policy Objects (PK, KEK, db, dbx). If the current mode is set to Deployed Mode, the available options are User Mode and Deployed Mode. If the current mode is set to User Mode, the available options are User Mode, Audit Mode, and Deployed Mode. Options User Mode Description In User Mode, PK must be installed, and BIOS performs signature verification on programmatic attempts to update policy objects. BIOS allows unauthenticated programmatic transitions between modes. 58 Pre-operating system management applications

, selected UEFI variables
are protected in the environment, and new UEFI boot entries are forced to be at the end of the current boot
order.
In-Band
Manageability
Interface
When set to
Disabled
, this setting hides the Management Engine's (ME), HECI devices, and the system's IPMI
devices from the operating system. This prevents the operating system from changing the ME power capping
settings, and blocks access to all in-band management tools. All management should be managed through out-of-
band. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
NOTE:
BIOS update requires HECI devices to be operational and DUP updates require IPMI
interface to be operational. This setting needs to be set to Enabled to avoid updating errors.
Secure Boot
Enables Secure Boot, where the BIOS authenticates each pre-boot image by using the certificates in the Secure
Boot Policy. Secure Boot is set to
Disabled
by default.
Secure Boot
Policy
When Secure Boot policy is set to
Standard
, the BIOS uses the system manufacturer key and certificates to
authenticate pre-boot images. When Secure Boot policy is set to
Custom
, the BIOS uses the user-defined key
and certificates. Secure Boot policy is set to
Standard
by default.
Secure Boot Mode
Enables you to configure how the BIOS uses the Secure Boot Policy Objects (PK, KEK, db, dbx).
