Modifying the BIOS Defaults
We recommend that you verify the support for BIOS settings in the server that you want to configure. Some
settings, such as Mirroring Mode and Sparing Mode for RAS Memory, are not supported by all Cisco UCS
servers.
Unless a Cisco UCS implementation has specific needs that are not met by the server-specific settings, we
recommend that you use the default BIOS settings that are designed for each type of server in the Cisco UCS
domain.
