FRB-2 Enable
Enabled

Fault Resilient Boot (FRB).
The BIOS programs the BMC
watchdog timer for approximately six
minutes. If the BIOS does not
complete POST before the timer
expires, the BMC will reset the
system.
This option controls whether the system
will be reset if the BMC Watchdog
Timer detects what appears to be a
hang during POST. When the BMC
Watchdog Timer is purposed as an
FRB-2 timer, it is initially set to allow six
minutes for POST to complete.
OS Boot
Watchdog
Timer
Enabled
Disabled
The BIOS programs the watchdog
timer with the timeout value
selected. If the OS does not
complete booting before the timer
expires, the BMC will reset the
system and an error will be logged.
Requires OS support or Intel
Management Software Support.
This option controls whether the system
will set the BMC Watchdog to detect an
apparent hang during OS boot. The
BIOS sets the timer before starting the
OS bootstrap load procedure. If the OS
Load Watchdog Timer times out, then
presumably the OS failed to boot
properly.

use to configure the watchdog timer.

Plug and Play
BMC Detection
Enabled
Disabled
If enabled, the BMC will be
detectable by OSes that support
plug and play loading of an IPMI
driver. Do not enable this option if
your OS does not support this
driver.
This option controls whether the OS
Server Management Software will be
able to find the BMC and automatically
load the correct IPMI support software
for it. If your OS does not support Plug
& Play for the BMC, you will not have
the correct IPMI driver software loaded.
