BIOS Setup Utilities Unless the OS does have timer-aware software to support the OS Load Watchdog Timer, the system will be unable to boot successfully with the OS Load Watchdog Timer enabled. When the timer expires without having been reset or turned off, the system will either reset or power off repeatedly. 11. OS Boot Watchdog Timer Policy Option Values: Power off Reset Help Text: If the OS watchdog timer is enabled, this is the system action taken if the watchdog timer expires. [Reset] - System performs a reset. [Power Off] - System powers off. Comments: This option is grayed out and unavailable when the O/S Boot Watchdog Timer is disabled. 12. OS Boot Watchdog Timer Timeout Option Values: 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes Help Text: If the OS watchdog timer is enabled, this is the timeout value BIOS will use to configure the watchdog timer. Comments: This option is grayed out and unavailable when the O/S Boot Watchdog Timer is disabled. 13. Plug & Play BMC Detection Option Values: Enabled Disabled Help Text: If enabled, the BMC will be detectable by OSes which support plug and play loading of an IPMI driver. Do not enable this option if your OS does not support this driver. Comments: This option controls whether the OS Server Management Software will be able to find the BMC and automatically load the correct IPMI support software for it. If your OS does not support Plug & Play for the BMC, you will not have the correct IPMI driver software loaded. 14. EuP LOT6 Off-Mode Intel® Server System R2000IP Service Guide 133
