Chapter 3. Typical Usage
Through WMI, you can configure BIOS settings in the
followingways:
·ListBIOSsettings
·ChangeBIOSsettings
·Changethebootorder(sometimesreferredtoasthestartup
sequence)
·LoaddefaultBIOSsettings
Listing current BIOS settings
For a list of all available BIOS settings that can be changed
throughWMIon aspecific computer,usethe
Lenovo_BiosSetting class (see “List all BIOS settings on the
localcomputer”onpage12and“ListallBIOSsettingsonthe
remotecomputer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
SeeTable4onpage4foralistofavailableBIOSsettings.
Changing BIOS settings
TochangeaBIOSsetting,completethefollowingsteps:
1.Identify the BIOS setting you want to change using the
Lenovo_BiosSetting class (see “List all BIOS settings on the local
computer” on page 12 and “List all BIOS settings on the remote
computer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
2.Identifythevaluetowhichthesettingwillbechanged.
Note: See Table 4 on page 4 for a list of available values for a
particularsetting.
3.Change the BIOS setting to the desired value using the
Lenovo_SetBiosSetting class, then use the Lenovo_SaveBiosSetting
classto save the settings (see“Set a singleBIOS setting on thelocal
computer” on page 12 and “Set a single BIOS setting on a remote
computer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
Note:BIOSsettingsandvaluesarecasesensitive.
After making changes to the BIOS settings, you must reboot the
computerbeforethechangeswilltakeeffect.
Changing the boot order
Tochangethebootorder,completethefollowingsteps:
1. Determine the current setting for “BootOrder” by using the
Lenovo BIOS Windows Management Instrumentation Interface Deployment Guide for Desktop 8
Lenovo_BiosSettingclass (see“ListallBIOSsettings onthelocal
computer”on page 12 and“List all BIOSsettingson theremote
computer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
2. To set a new boot order, use the Lenovo_SetBiosSetting class,
then use the Lenovo_SaveBiosSetting class to save the settings
(see“SetasingleBIOSsettingonthelocalcomputer”onpage12
and“SetasingleBIOSsettingonaremotecomputer”onpage14
for sample scripts).Specify a new boot order by
listingthe
boot
devices in order, separated by colons. Devices that are not
specified are excluded from the boot order. In the following
example, the CD drive 0 is the first boot device and hard disk
drive0 is thesecondstartupdevice.
AHCI_CD:AHCI_HDD
Restoring default settings
TorestoredefaultBIOSsettings,usetheLenovo_LoadDefaultSettingsclass,
and then use the Lenovo_SaveBiosSettings class to save the BIOS changes
(seesamplescripts).
