To apply INI file or CCTK file, run cctk -i <filename>.

NOTE: For systems running Ubuntu Core operating system, copy the file at var/snap/dcc/current and run, dcc.cctk

-i /var/snap/dcc/current/<filename>.ini

Applying a shell script on Linux

1. Copy the script to a system running the Linux operation system.

2. Run dos2unix on the system.

3. Run the script as: sh <filename.sh>

Applying a SCE file

NOTE: You must have Administrator privileges.

To apply SCE on a target system:

Double-click the SCE, or from the command prompt, browse to the directory where SCE is located and type the name of the SCE file.

For example, C:\Users\SystemName\Documents>"<filename>”.

NOTE: You cannot run SCE on Windows PE systems. For more information on applying SCE on target systems running

the Windows PE operating systems, see Troubleshooting.

NOTE: The generated SCE file does not work on non WMI-ACPI system.

SCE details

Some of the common scenarios in which you might use SCE are:

• When you apply SCE on a target system, it performs a silent installation for the BIOS settings on the target system. When the

installation is complete, SCE generates a log file with the SCE name at the same location. The log file contains all the applied options

and the status of the SCE file.

NOTE:

To generate the log file in the required location, specify the location of the log file. For example, SCE.exe /

l="<folder_path>\log.txt".

• When you apply SCE on a target system from a read-only location, provide the /nolog option to prevent generation of the log file.

For example, SCE.exe /nolog. The /nolog option helps the SCE to run successfully and informs that a log file is not created as

SCE is in a read-only location.

• If you run SCE from a read-only location without providing /nolog, then SCE fails to run.

• To apply SCE on Windows PE, extract SCE from a system running the Window operating system using the /e option. For example,

SCE.exe/e=<folder_path_to extract SCE>.

• If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system, and while exporting SCE, if you have not provided the same

password in the Setup, System, or Hard Disk Drive Password screen, then you cannot double-click and apply SCE on the target

system. However, while applying SCE from the command prompt, you can provide the setup or system password of the target

system.

NOTE:

Example of providing setup password: C:\Windows\Command Configure\SCE>"<filename>" --

valsetuppwd= <password string>

NOTE: Example of providing system password: C:\Windows\Command Configure\SCE>"<filename>" --

valsyspwd= <password string>
