1 Overview
1.1 BIOS Introduction
The BIOS of the Inspur M6 platform server is UEFI BIOS. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface) defines the Interface between the operating system and firmware during the boot or
startup process. The UEFI BIOS program is integrated into the motherboard chip. Its main functions
include power-on, self-test, CPU/memory initialization, detection of input and output devices and
bootable devices to finally boot the operating system.
The BIOS of the Inspur M6 platform server is developed based on AMI Codebase, supporting
Legacy and UEFI operating environments with rich in-band and out-of-band configuration functions
and scalability to meet various customization needs.
The BIOS of the Inspur M6 platform server:
1. offers rich BIOS configuration Interfaces in Chinese and English.
2. supports larger hard drives and boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB.
3. supports UEFI Shell, providing a pre-boot environment for running scripts and tools.
4. supports UEFI Secure Boot, Intel TXT, Boot Guard and other security technologies, with a
stronger security performance.
Note:
1. Before changing server BIOS settings, please record the corresponding initial settings, so
that when the system works abnormally due to option modifications, you can restore it
according to the recorded initial settings.
2. Generally, default settings of the system are optimal settings. Please do not attempt to
make changes without understanding the meaning of the parameters.
3. This chapter describes common settings in detail. The options that are rarely involved in
the use process are only briefly explained or not explained.

2.2 UEFI/Legacy Mode Switch
Login to the BIOS Setup interface, select “Advanced -> CSM Configuration”. Press Enter, to
set Boot option filter(UEFI only/Legacy only) Set the Option ROM execution mode of Network,
Storage, Video OPROM Policy and Other PCI devices, as shown in the following figure2.2.
At present, Inspur M6 platform servers are set to UEFI Mode by default. Compared with
Legacy mode, UEFI mode has many advantages: it supports boot from the GPT disk, supports
IPv6/IPv4 PXE boot, and provides UEFI Shell environment. This option can be set according to
customer’s demand.
If the Boot Mode is set to Legacy Mode, the Option ROM execution mode of Network, Storage,
Video OPROM Policy and Other PCI devices will be set to Legacy.
If the Boot Mode is set to UEFI Mode, the Option ROM execution mode of Network, Storage,
Video OPROM Policy and Other PCI devices will be set to UEFI.And the Option ROM execution
mode of Storage, Video OPROM Policy and Other PCI devices is suggested to set to UEFI. If there
are special requirements, it can be set to Legacy.
