Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A computing system comprising:
a baseboard management controller (BMC) having a BMC memory;
a user input device;
one or more data processors; and
a memory coupled to the one or more data processors and having stored thereon machine readable instructions, the memory including Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) memory for storing a plurality of BIOS setting values, wherein the machine readable instructions, when executed by the one or more data processors, cause the one or more data processors to perform operations including:
accessing the BMC memory;
identifying one or more configuration payloads in the BMC memory, wherein each of the one or more configuration payloads contains a unique combination of BIOS setting values;
presenting a BIOS setup utility, wherein presenting the BIOS setup utility includes presenting each of the one or more configuration payloads as a respective configuration preset;
receiving, via the user input device, a user selection for a selected configuration preset associated with a selected configuration payload of the one or more configuration payloads;
loading a current BIOS configuration from the BIOS memory prior to receiving the user selection;
implementing the selected configuration preset, wherein implementing the selected configuration preset includes
booting the computing system using the unique combination of BIOS setting values of the selected configuration payload,
copying the current BIOS configuration into the BMC memory, and
overriding the current BIOS configuration in the BIOS memory with the selected configuration payload, wherein booting the computing system using the unique combination of BIOS setting values of the selected configuration payload includes booting the computing system using the selected configuration payload stored in the BIOS memory.
