SYSCFG 27
SYSCFG for BIOS Configuration
SYSCFG uses BIOS interfaces to manipulate boot order and BIOS settings.
It configures all options available on the BIOS setup screen, including boot
order, embedded device configuration, and asset tag management.
Options for BIOS Configuration
Table 3-2 documents valid options and arguments along with a description of
their expected behavior. Options and arguments are case sensitive. All options
and pre-defined arguments are lowercase unless stated otherwise.
NOTE: Some of the following options or arguments might not be available on all
systems due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set. Running SYSCFG without
arguments displays only those options that are valid for your system.
Table 3-2. SYSCFG Options and Arguments for BIOS Configuration
Option Valid Arguments Description
--acpower on, off, last This option sets the behavior for the system after
AC power is lost. This option specifies how the
system responds to the restoration of AC power
and is particularly useful in systems that are turned
off using a power strip. When set to on, the system
turns on after AC is restored. When set to off, the
system does not turn on after AC is restored.
When set to last, the system turns on if the
system was on when AC power was lost; if the
system was off when AC power was lost, the
system remains off when power is restored.
This option is available on all supported systems.
This value can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --acpower=on
acpower=on
