The storage area for the boot options in the IPMC is divided into two parts: the default area and
the user area. The user area is readable and settable. It contains the boot options that are used
by the boot firmware during the boot process. The default area is readable only. It contains the
default value of the boot options and is used to rollback the user area in case of mis-
configuration. To load the default settings can be done typically by an on-board switch to clear
the CMOS. The number of boot options stored in the IPMC may differ from project to project.

The following figure explains the basic information flow related to the system boot options
parameter #100.

Changing a boot option in the firmware setup menu changes the boot option in the user area
as well, if the same option is defined both in the user area and the set-up menu. Details are
given below.
