BIOS Settings Scrub
One of the following occurs to the BIOS settings when a service profile containing the scrub policy is
disassociated from a server:
• If enabled, erases all BIOS settings for the server and and resets them to the BIOS defaults for
that server type and vendor
• If disabled, preserves the existing BIOS settings on the server
