Attribute Name	Description
AllowBIOSDowngrade	Allows or restricts downgrading of the system BIOS. NOTE You cannot enable the Allow BIOS Downgrade feature using the Dell Command \| PowerShell Provider. NOTE One of the methods of enabling the Allow BIOS Downgrade feature is from the BIOS setup screen. The following are the possible values: Enabled—Allows the system to downgrade the system BIOS. Disabled—Restricts the system to downgrade the system BIOS. NOTE The read-only mechanism is not displayed at option level, while the AllowBIOSDowngrade is enabled.
BiosAutoRcvr	Enables or disables BIOS auto recovery feature. The following are the possible values: Enabled—If BIOS corruption is detected, the system automatically recovers BIOS without any user interaction. Disabled—Disables BIOS auto recovery feature. NOTE You can enable this option only if BiosRcvrFrmHdd option is enabled.
BiosIntegrityCheck	Enables or disables the BIOS integrity check during the booting process. The following are the possible values: Enabled—BIOS checks the BIOS image integrity during every booting process. Disabled—BIOS checks the BIOS image integrity only if the previous booting process did not complete. NOTE BIOS checks the BIOS image integrity only if the BiosAutoRcvr option is enabled.
BiosRcvrFrmHdd	Enables or disables the system BIOS Recovery option. This feature saves a recovery image to a primary hard disk drive storage, or to an external USB, and uses this recovery image to recover the BIOS image when system BIOS fails. The following are the possible values: Enabled—BIOS stores the recovery image on a primary hard disk drive storage. So the BIOS recovery image is available both from the primary hard disk drive permanent storage and via an external USB. Disabled—BIOS does not store the recovery image on primary hard disk drive storage. So the BIOS recovery image is available only via an external USB.
MicrocodeUpdateSupport	This feature enables or disables the microcode updates either from the flash update utility or the operating system. The following are the possible values: Enabled Disabled
NodeInterleave	This field controls the distribution of the system memory among the physical processors. This affects the performance because a processor can access its local memory faster than the memory which is allocated to the other processors. The following are the possible values: Enabled—When enabled, system memory is configured in Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) mode. Memory is configured into blocks to each processor. A NUMA-aware operating system can use this configuration to allocate memory for optimal performance. Disabled—When disabled, system memory is configured in SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) mode. Memory is configured into one contiguous block that is interleaved between multiple processors. This mode provides better performance for operating systems that are non-NUMA-aware and do not allocate memory.
Serr	Enables or disables the SERR on the DRAM controller and the PEG controller in the north bridge. The following are the possible values: Disabled—Disable the SERR DMI messaging mechanism. Enabled—Allows SERR messages to be generated.
