Exporting the BIOS configuration
You can export a customized configuration 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 configuration settings as a SCE (EXE file). For more
information, see Setup, system, or hard disk drive passwords screen.
● Report — Click Report to export the configuration settings as a read-only HTML file.
● Configuration file — Click EXPORT CONFIG to export the configuration settings as a CCTK or INI file.
NOTE: To display and configure the options on the GUI, double-click the CCTK file.
● Shell script — The shell script is generated at the location where the SCE file is exported, and contains the same
configuration as that of the SCE file. The shell script is used to configure a system running the Linux operating system.
Exporting the SCE (.EXE) file
Perform the following steps to export the BIOS configuration:
1. Click the EXPORT.EXE option to export the BIOS configuration as an .exe file.
2. The Setup, System or Hard Disk Drive Password screen is displayed prompting you to type a password.
