摘要： In certain aspects, a system for out-of-band configuring BIOS setting data (BIOSSD) includes a host computer and a service processor (SP). The SP stores a BIOSSD collection and a human interface data (HID) collection. The HID collection includes questions for data of the BIOSSD collection and corresponding options for each question. When a remote management computer sends to the SP an information request, the SP retrieves the HID collection and transmits the questions and the corresponding options to the remote management computer. In response to a command indicating a selected corresponding option, the SP changes corresponding data of the BIOSSD collection according to the command. When the BIOS executed at the host computer issues a BIOSSD update request to the SP, the SP transmits a copy of the BIOSSD collection to the BIOS chip of the host computer to replace the BIOSSD collection stored in the BIOS chip.

摘要： Certain aspects direct a distributed Intelligent Platform Management Interface (D-IPMI) system. The system includes a computing device and a distributed management device. The distributed management device includes a first management device and at least one second management device physically separated from each other. A stack interface connects the first management device and the second management device to perform an internal communication between the first management device and the second management device. The first management device may be used to perform time critical functions related to the computing device, and the second management device may be used to perform non-critical functions. For example, the first management device may perform system power control of the computing device, monitor system components and obtaining system information of the computing device, and perform system communication with the computing device. The second management device may perform an external communication through the external interface.

摘要： Certain aspects direct to BIOS update with a service processor (SP) without access through a serial peripheral interface (SPI). In certain embodiments, the system includes a SP, which includes a processor, a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory and a system interface. The SP receives a BIOS image from a remote management computer, and stores the BIOS image in the volatile memory. When the SP receives, from a BIOS executed at a central processing unit (CPU) of a host computer through the system interface, a request for the BIOS image, the SP sends a copy of the BIOS image in response to the request for the BIOS image to the host computer through the system interface such that the BIOS executed at the CPU of the host computer replaces a current BIOS image stored in a BIOS chip with the copy of the BIOS image.
