Configure a Static CMOS Setting

The following procedure describes how to set static CMOS settings. The XML samples shown are subsets of the output XML file.

1. To get the CMOS settings, type:

   biosconfig -get_bios_settings filename.xml

2. View the XML file.

   For example:

   <BIOSCONFIG>
      <SETUP_CONFIG>
         <Boot>
         <Boot_Settings_Configuration>
         <Quick_Boot>
         <HELP_STRING>Allows BIOS to skip certain....
         </HELP_STRING>
         <DEFAULT_OPTION>Enabled</DEFAULT_OPTION>
         <SELECTED_OPTION>Enabled</SELECTED_OPTION>
         <OPTION-0>Disabled</OPTION-0>
         <OPTION-1>ENabled</OPTION-1>
         </Quick_Boot>
         <Onboard_IB_gPXE_boot_first_>
         <HELP_STRING>Set Onboard Infiniband  gPXE ....
         </HELP_STRING>
         <DEFAULT_OPTION>Disabled</DEFAULT_OPTION>
         <SELECTED_OPTION>Disabled</DEFAULT_OPTION>
         <OPTION-0>Disabled</OPTION-0>
         <OPTION-1>Enabled</OPTION-2>
         </Onboard_IB_gPXE_boot_first_>
         </Boot_Settings_Configuration>
         </Boot>
      </SETUP_CONFIG>
   </BIOSCONFIG>

3. Modify the value in the <SELECTED_OPTION> tags, as needed.

   The options listed below the <SELECTED_OPTION> tags display the available values.

   For example, the options for the Quick Boot setting are Disabled and Enabled

4. To set the static CMOS values, type:

   biosconfig -set_bios_settings filename.xml
