WFM allows a server to be managed over a network. The system BIOS supports the System Management BIOS Reference Specification, Version 2.4, to help higher-level instrumentation software meet the Wired For Management Baseline Specification, Revision 2.0 requirements. 5.3.1 PXE BIOS Support The BIOS supports the EFI PXE implementation as specified in Chapter 15 of the Extensible Firmware Interface Reference Specification , Version 1.1. To utilize this, the user must load the EFI Simple Network Protocol driver. The UNDI driver is specific to the network controller and must be included with the network card. The Simple Network Protocol driver can be obtained from http://developer.intel.com/technology/framework. The BIOS supports legacy PXE option ROMs in legacy mode and includes the necessary PXE ROMs in the BIOS image for the onboard controllers. The legacy PXE ROM is required to boot a non-EFI operating system over the network. 5.4 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) The BIOS provides support for the System Management BIOS Reference Specification, Version 2.4, to create a standardized interface for manageable attributes that are expected to be supported by DMI-enabled computer systems. The BIOS provides this interface via data structures through which the system attributes are reported. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the types, capabilities, operational status, installation date and other information about the server components. 5.5 Security The BIOS provides several securit y features. This section describes the security features and operating model. 5.5.1 Operating Model The following table summarizes the operation of security features supported by the BIOS. Revision 1.3 53

Wired For Management (WFM)
Wired for Management is an industry -wide initiative to increase overall manageabilit y and
reduce total cost of ownership. WFM allows a server to be managed over a network. The
system BIOS supports the
System Management BIOS Reference
Specification, Version 2.4, to
help higher-level instrumentation software meet the
Wired For Management Baseline
Specification
, Revision 2.0 requirements.
5.3.1
PXE BIOS Support
The BIOS supports the EFI PXE implementation as specified in Chapter 15 of the
Extensible
Firmware Interface Reference Specification
, Version 1.1. To utilize this, the user must load the
EFI Simple Network Protocol driver. The UNDI driver is specific to the network controller and
must be included with the network card.
The Simple Network Protocol driver can be obtained
The BIOS supports legacy PXE option ROMs in legacy mode and includes the necessary PXE
ROMs in the BIOS image for the onboard controllers. The legacy PXE ROM is required to boot
a non-EFI operating system over the network.
