Chapter 3. Typical Usage
ThroughWMI,youcanconfigureBIOSsettingsinthe
followingways:
·ListBIOSsettings
·ChangeBIOSsettings
·Changethebootorder(sometimesreferredtoasthestartup
sequence)
·LoaddefaultBIOSsettings
Listing current BIOS settings
ForalistofallavailableBIOSsettingsthatcanbechanged
throughWMIonaspecificcomputer,usethe
Lenovo_BiosSettingclass(see“ListallBIOSsettingsonthe
localcomputer”onpage12and“ListallBIOSsettingsonthe
remotecomputer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
SeeTable4onpage4foralistofavailableBIOSsettings.
Changing BIOS settings
TochangeaBIOSsetting,completethefollowingsteps:
1.IdentifytheBIOSsettingyouwanttochangeusingthe
Lenovo_BiosSettingclass(see“ListallBIOSsettingsonthelocal
computer”onpage12and“ListallBIOSsettingsontheremote
computer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
2.Identifythevaluetowhichthesettingwillbechanged.
Note:SeeTable4onpage4foralistofavailablevaluesfora
particularsetting.
3.ChangetheBIOSsettingtothedesiredvalueusingthe
Lenovo_SetBiosSettingclass,thenusetheLenovo_SaveBiosSetting
classtosavethesettings(see“SetasingleBIOSsettingonthelocal
computer”onpage12and“SetasingleBIOSsettingonaremote
computer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
Note:BIOSsettingsandvaluesarecasesensitive.
AftermakingchangestotheBIOSsettings,youmustrebootthe
computerbeforethechangeswilltakeeffect.
Changing the boot order
Tochangethebootorder,completethefollowingsteps:
1. Determinethecurrentsettingfor“BootOrder”byusingthe
Lenovo BIOS Windows Management Instrumentation Interface Deployment Guide for Desktop 8
Lenovo_BiosSettingclass(see“ListallBIOSsettingsonthelocal
computer”onpage12and“ListallBIOSsettingsontheremote
computer”onpage14forsamplescripts).
2. Tosetanewbootorder,usetheLenovo_SetBiosSettingclass,
thenusetheLenovo_SaveBiosSettingclasstosavethesettings
(see“SetasingleBIOSsettingonthelocalcomputer”onpage12
and“SetasingleBIOSsettingonaremotecomputer”onpage14
forsamplescripts).Specifyanewbootorderby
