BIOS setup settings

The following table lists the BIOS setup attributes supported on Dell’s 12 ^th generation and later PowerEdge systems. The attributes are grouped based on the hardware configuration. The possible attributes may vary in a specific group. The omconfig chassis biossetup command does not display the read-only attributes.

NOTE: If you have configured the setup password, then, always set the same password when you configure any BIOS settings.
