AcpiRootBridgePxm (Memory Proximity Reporting for I/O) Member of Bios.v1_0_5.Bios
Description
When enabled, the System BIOS reports the proximity relationship between I/O devices and system memory to the operating system. Most operating systems can use this information to efficiently assign memory resources for devices, such as network controllers and storage devices. Additionally, certain I/O devices might not be able to take advantage of I/O handling benefits if their OS drivers are not properly optimized to support this feature. See your operating system and I/O device documentation for more details.
The ACPI SLIT (System Locality Information Table) defines the relative access times between processors, memory subsystems, and I/O subsystems. Operating systems that support the SLIT can use this information to improve performance by allocating resources and workloads more efficiently.

AdvancedMemProtection (Advanced Memory Protection) Member of Bios.v1_0_5.Bios
Description
Use this option to configure additional memory protection with ECC (Error Checking and Correcting). Options and support vary per system. Advanced ECC keeps all installed memory available for use while still protecting the system against all single-bit failures and certain multi-bit failures. Online Spare Memory enables a system to automatically map out a group of memory that is detected to be at an increased risk of receiving uncorrected memory errors based on an advanced analysis of corrected memory errors. The mapped out memory is automatically replaced by a spare group of memory without interrupting the system. Mirrored Memory provides the maximum protection against uncorrected memory errors that might otherwise result in a system failure. Fault Tolerant Advanced Double Device Data Correction (ADDDC) enables the system to correct memory errors and continue to operate in cases of multiple DRAM device failures on a DIMM. This provides protection against uncorrectable memory errors beyond what is available with Advanced ECC.

NvDimmNSanitizePolicy (NVDIMM-N Sanitize/Erase on Next Reboot Policy) Member of Bios.v1_0_5.Bios
Description
This option is used to Sanitize/Erase all user data and error status data saved in the selected NVDIMMs of type NVDIMM-N. Selected NVDIMMs of type NVDIMM-N are sanitized/erased on the next reboot of the system. This process is required BEFORE the NVDIMM-N Memory Interleaving option can be modified. An NVDIMM-N must be sanitized/erased when it is initially installed in the system or installed in a different DIMM slot on the system. In addition, an NVDIMM-N can be recovered to normal operation if it has received an Uncorrectable Memory Error, a Backup Error, a Restore Error, or an Arming Error (if the NVDIMM hardware is functional). Note that the largest group of NVDIMMs of type NVDIMM-N selected are sanitized/erased. For instance, if 'Sanitize/Erase all NVDIMM-N on Processor 1' is enabled and 'Sanitize/Erase Processor 1 DIMM 8' is disabled, all NVDIMMs of type NVDIMM-N on Processor 1 are sanitized/erased including Processor 1 DIMM 8. There are four policies that control the action of the system after NVDIMMs of type NVDIMM-N are sanitized/erased. The options are to power off the system after sanitizing/erasing NVDIMMs, to enable the system to boot to the operating system after sanitizing/erasing NVDIMMs, to boot to the System Utilities after sanitizing/erasing NVDIMMs, or to sanitize/erase the NVDIMMs back to the factory default settings and power off the system. 'Sanitize/Erase to Factory Defaults and Power System Off' is recommended when retiring the NVDIMMs with no intention of reuse.

Note: For some situations like system configuration change, the system will change to start all devices for discovering all boot devices. When Force Full Discovery is selected, the system starts all devices in the system providing full boot target availability. Note: When Force Full Discovery is selected, boot time might significantly increase. When Force Fast Discovery is selected, the system starts as few devices as possible to get minimal boot time. Note: When Force Fast Discovery is selected, some unsupported devices may not work properly. You may need to replace the unsupported device with one that supports Fast Discovery.
Use this option to configure the system to display the F1 key on the server POST screen. If an error is encountered, you can press the F1 key to continue with the server power-up sequence.

When set to Display Embedded Only, the system will only display POST video to the embedded video controller. This option is only supported in UEFI Boot Mode and only applies to video output during the POST (pre-boot) environment.
Disabling this option disables the momentary power button functionality. This option does not affect the four-second power button override or the remote power control functionality.
Use this option to delay the server from turning on for a specified time. Pressing the power button (using the Virtual Power Button), or Wake-ON LAN events, and RTC Wake-up events override the delay and power on the server without any additional delay. This enables staggering when servers power-up after a power loss to prevent power usage spikes.Note that the actual delay before the server is powered on will be longer than the specified time because the server must always wait for iLO FW to initialize before the server attempts to power on.
You can only configure this option if the Workload Profile is set to Custom. Use this option to configure the following Power Regulator support: - Dynamic Power Savings Mode: Automatically varies processor speed and power usage based on processor utilization. Enables the reduction of overall power consumption with little or no impact on performance. Does not require OS support. - Static Low Power Mode: Reduces processor speed and power usage. Guarantees a lower maximum power usage for the system. Performance impacts are greater for environments with higher processor utilization. - Static High Performance Mode: Processors run in their maximum power/performance state at all times, regardless of the OS power management policy. - OS Control Mode: Processors run in their maximum power/performance state at all times unless the OS enables a power management policy.

ThermalConfig (Thermal Configuration) Member of Bios.v1_0_5.Bios
Description
Use this option to select the fan cooling solution for the system. Optimal Cooling provides the most efficient solution by configuring fan speeds to the minimum required speed to provide adequate cooling. Increased Cooling runs fans at higher speeds to provide additional cooling. Select Increased Cooling when third-party storage controllers are cabled to the embedded hard drive cage, or if the system is experiencing thermal issues that cannot be resolved. Maximum cooling provides the maximum cooling available on this platform. Enhanced CPU Cooling runs the fans at a higher speed to provide additional cooling to the processors. Selecting Enhanced CPU Cooling may improve system performance with certain processor intensive workloads.
Use this option to control the reaction of the system to caution level thermal events. When disabled, the System Management Firmware ignores thermal events, and the system immediately powers off in data-destructive situations.
This option controls how the system time is stored in the hardware Real Time Clock (RTC). When configured to 'Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)' (default) the local time is calculated from the associated time zone value. When configured to 'Local Time' the time is stored directly as local time and the time zone option does not have meaning. Setting this option to 'Local Time' works around an issue when using Microsoft Windows operating systems in Legacy Boot Mode where the time is set incorrectly.
Use this option to perform a clear operation on the TPM. Clearing the TPM can prevent the server from booting to a TPM-aware operating system if the operating system uses TPM's measurements. TPM 2.0 is only supported in UEFI Mode.

Use this option to enable the Trusted Platform Module and BIOS secure startup. When enabled, the TPM is fully functional. When disabled, the TPM is visible; however, functionality is limited. This option also enables you to reset the TPM to factory settings, which clears any assigned passwords, keys, or ownership data. Clearing the TPM can prevent the server from booting to a TPM-aware operating system if the operating system uses TPM's measurements.
Use this option to hide the TPM from the operating system. When the TPM is hidden, BIOS secure startup is disabled, and the TPM does not respond to any commands. Intended use is for removing the TPM option from the system without removing the actual hardware.

Typically, setting this option to enabled provides better performance. Only disable this option after performing application benchmarking to verify improved performance in the environment. This option must be enabled when Sub-Numa Clustering (SNC) is enabled.
Use this option to configure a network URL to a bootable ISO or EFI file. URLs in HTTP/HTTPS are accepted using either an IPv4 or IPv6 server address, or using a host name. For example, the URLs can be in any of the following formats: http://192.168.0.1/file/image.iso, http://example.com/file/image.efi, https://example.com/file/image.efi, http://[1234::1000]/image.iso. When configured, this URL is listed as a boot option in the UEFI boot menu. Selecting this boot option downloads the file to the system memory, and configures the system to attempt to boot from it. There is no specific ordering on this option. It can be independently ordered in the boot menu. This setting requires configuring the 'Pre-Boot Network Interface' option if you want to access the URL location through a specific network interface. When a HTTPS URL is configured, this setting requires enrolling the respective TLS certificate of the HTTPS server under Server Security > TLS(HTTPS) Options. This option does not depend on the "DHCPv4" and "IPv6 Config Policy" settings. This is only applicable in UEFI Mode. Note: Booting from an ISO file can involve only booting a preliminary OS environment image, such as WinPE or a mini Linux, or a complete OS install image if the OS supports the HTTP Boot feature (Old OS versions may not support this). Please check your OS documentation for the HTTP Boot feature support.
