Exporting the BIOS conguration

You can export a customized conguration to apply the same settings on a target client system. You can export both supported and

unsupported options. You can export certain options (asset and propowntag) without specifying any values.

To export an option:

Select the Apply Settings check box of that option, and then export in any of the following formats:

• Self-Contained Executable — Click EXPORT.EXE to export the conguration settings as a SCE (EXE le). For more information,

see Setup, system, or hard disk drive passwords screen.

• Report — Click Report to export the conguration settings as a read-only HTML le.

NOTE: To display and congure the options on the GUI, double-click the CCTK

le.

• Shell script — The shell script is generated at the location where the SCE le is exported, and contains the same conguration as

that of the SCE le. The shell script is used to congure a system running the Linux operating system.
