Setup Item Options Help Text Comments
FRB-2 Enable
Enabled
Disabled
Fault Resilient Boot (FRB).
The BIOS programs the Integrated BMC watchdog
timer for approximately 6 minutes. If the BIOS does
not complete POST before the timer expires, the
Integrated BMC resets the system.
O/S 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 Integrated BMC
resets the system and an error is logged.
Requires OS support or Intel
System Management
Software.
O/S Boot Watchdog
Timer Policy
Power Off
Reset
If the OS watchdog timer is enabled, this is the system
action taken if the watchdog timer expires.
[Reset] - System performs a reset.
[Power Off] - System powers off.
O/S Boot Watchdog
Timer Timeout
5 minutes
10 minutes
15 minutes
20 minutes
If the OS watchdog timer is enabled, this is the
timeout value BIOS uses to configure the watchdog
timer.
Plug-n-Play BMC
Detection
Enabled
Disabled
If enabled, Integrated BMC is detectable by operating
systems that support plug and play loading of an IPMI
driver. Do not enable if your OS does not support this
driver.
