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.

SYSCFG Options On PowerEdge Systems Prior To PowerEdge 12G Systems

The following are the valid options and arguments supported on PowerEdge systems earlier than PowerEdge 12G

systems. Options and arguments are case-sensitive. All options and pre-defined arguments are lowercase unless stated

otherwise. Running SYSCFG without arguments only displays the valid options. Some of the following options or

arguments may not be available on all systems due to the BIOS version or hardware feature set.

NOTE: If you have modified tpm or tcm option, reboot the system for the options to take effect.

--acpower

Option

--acpower

Valid Arguments on, off, last

Description 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 can be replicated.

Example:

A:>syscfg --acpower=on

acpower=on

Applicable Systems All Dell PowerEdge systems prior to PowerEdge 12G systems.
