Security
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
PPI Bypass
for Clear Commands
option disabled.
Clear
When enabled, the
Clear
option clears the information stored in the PTT fTPM
after exiting the system's BIOS. This option returns to disabled state when the
system restarts.
By default, the
Clear
option is disabled.
Dell Technologies recommends enabling the
Clear
option only when PTT fTPM
data needs to be cleared.
Chassis intrusion
Chassis Intrusion Detection
Allows you to control the chassis intrusion feature. This feature notifies the user
when the base cover has been removed from the computer.
When set to
Enabled
, a notification is displayed on the next boot and the event
is logged in the BIOS Events log.
When set to
On-Silent
, the event is logged in the BIOS Events log, but no
notification is displayed.
When set to
Disabled
, no notification is displayed and no event is logged in the
BIOS Events log.
By default, the
Chassis Intrusion Detection
option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
Chassis
Intrusion Detection
option enabled.
Block Boot Until Cleared
Enables or disables the Block Boot Until Cleared option.
By default, the
Block Boot Until Cleared
option is enabled.
NOTE:
When enabled, the computer does not boot until the chassis intrusion
is cleared. If the administrator password is set, Setup has to be unlocked
before the warning can be cleared.
Legacy Manageability Interface Access
Allows the administrator to control the access to BIOS configuration through the
Legacy Manageability Interface option. When enabled, this prevents the BIOS
Administrator password-based manageability tools from running, prevents some
Dell software applications from reading configuration settings, and/or prevents
changes to the BIOS configuration settings.
When enabled, this option only supports the Authenticated BIOS Manageability
Interface (ABI) for managing the BIOS configuration changes. To support this
feature, ABI must be enabled and provisioned.
When set to
Enabled
, the Legacy Manageability Interface can be used to read
and change BIOS configuration settings.
When set to
Read-Only
, BIOS configuration settings can be read, but cannot be
changed through the Legacy Manageability Interface.
When set to
Disabled
, the Legacy Manageability Interface is disabled. BIOS
configuration reads and writes are blocked.
SMM Security Mitigation
Enables or disables additional UEFI SMM Security Mitigation protections. This
option uses the Windows SMM Security Mitigations Table (WSMT) to confirm to
the operating system that security best practices have been implemented by the
UEFI firmware.
By default, the
SMM Security Mitigation
option is enabled.
For additional security, Dell Technologies recommends keeping the
SMM
Security Mitigation
option enabled unless you have a specific application which
is not compatible.
