CLI Guide

On 12G and later systems: FastBoot, OptimizedBoot, Disabled
Description
In-System Characterization (ISC) runs during power-on self-test (POST) on detecting
relevant changes in the system conguration to optimize power and performance. ISC takes
about 20 seconds to run, and a system restart is required to apply the system conguration
changes. The FastBoot option runs ISC and continues without applying ISC results until
the next system restart. The OptimizedBoot option runs ISC and forces an immediate
system restart to apply the results. If set to
Disabled, ISC does not run.
Example:
A:>syscfg --InSystemCharacterization=FastBoot
InSystemCharacterization=FastBoot
ReportKbdErr or rptkeyerr
Table 92. ReportKbdErr or rptkeyerr
Valid Arguments
On systems prior to 12G: enable, disable
On 12G and later systems: Report, Noreport
Description
Enables or disables the BIOS to report keyboard errors during POST. This option can be
replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --rptkeyerr=disable
rptkeyerr=disable
Applicable Systems All PowerEdge systems
DellAutoDiscovery
Table 93.
DellAutoDiscovery
Valid Arguments
On systems prior to 14G: NA
On 14G and later systems: PlatformDefault, AutoDiscovery, ManualControl
Description
Allow BIOS to dynamically scan for PCIe devices rather than relying strictly on system slot
denitions. The Platform Default setting will strictly follow the system slot denitions when
conguring each PCIe slot.
The Auto Discovery setting will analyze the installed PCIe cards and determine the correct
conguration for each slot. This may include bifurcation of the slot for multiple devices.
Manual Control allows the user to override bifurcation settings for each slot.
Example:
A:>syscfg --DellAutoDiscovery=PlatformDefault
DellAutoDiscovery=AutoDiscovery
Applicable Systems PowerEdge 14G and later systems
