I am following this DCC document to configure the BIOS settings of Turing, one of our front-end machines.
sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name
X11SRL-F
sudo dmidecode -s processor-version
Intel (R) Xeon(R) W-2245 CPU @ 3.90GHz
The BIOS version is 2.8.
First, I reset all BIOS settings to default using 'Restore Defaults' in the 'Save & Exit' menu.
Advanced > CPU Configuration: Hyper-Threading [ALL] - Disabled
Advanced > CPU Configuration > Advanced Power Management Configuration > CPU P State Control: SpeedStep (Pstates) - Disabled
Advanced > CPU Configuration > Advanced Power Management Configuration > CPU C State Control: Enhanced Halt State (C1E) - Disabled
Advanced > CPU Configuration > Advanced Power Management Configuration > Package C State Control: Package C State - C0/C1 state
Advanced > PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration: Above 4G Decoding - Enabled
IPMI > BMC Network Configuration: Update IPMI LAN Configuration - Yes
IPMI > BMC Network Configuration: Configuration Address Source - Static
IPMI > BMC Network Configuration: IPv6 Support - Disabled
I will need to follow up about the Station IP address. What is the local CDS admin LAN? Will we be doing this? For now I have set the static IP address to be the same address that was DHCP assigned.
NOTE: make sure that debian is selected as Boot Option #1 in the boot settings, this may be changed by resetting all settings
