Abstract: A plurality of BIOS default configurations may be is stored in a BIOS of the computer system. A particular BIOS default configuration may be selected from the plurality of BIOS default configurations based at least in part on a server identification (ID) of the computer system or a user command. The computer system is initialized with the particular BIOS default configuration.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that initiate, during a power-on self-test of a computer system, a pre-registered handler for accessing, modifying, or a combination thereof one or more registers within a basic input output system (BIOS) of the computer system. A request to access, modify, or a combination thereof at least one register of the one or more registers within the BIOS is received during runtime of an operating system of the computer system. The request with the pre-registered handler is processed to access, modify, or a combination thereof at least one register of the one or more registers within the BIOS corresponding to the request. A response to the request is provided based on data from the at least one register obtained by the pre-registered handler.

Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable storage devices for enabling improved management and installation of default configurations for firmware such as a basic input/output system (BIOS) or unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) on a computer motherboard. The system disclosed herein includes an additional storage device connected to system south bridge, which can store additional groups of default firmware configuration settings. The additional storage device is accessible directly by both the firmware and the baseboard management controller (BMC), so that a remote entity can update the firmware through an out-of-band network connection without using a local operating system and without booting into a local firmware update utility. In one variation, the additional storage can still be separately accessible via a local operating system. In this way, the configuration procedure is more flexible and convenient for managing multiple computing devices, such as for managing a rack of servers in a data center.
