HX520 / K520 BIOS Manual

1- Getting Started

1.1- Introduction

This Helix 520 / Karbon 520 Series BIOS Manual covers OnLogic Custom Features and displays standard options and configurations in the BIOS. Additional content pertaining to other configurable elements may be added in subsequent versions of this manual.

1.2- Navigating the Setup Menu

To access the BIOS setup menu, hold the Delete key on the keyboard while turning the system on. After a few seconds, the BIOS front page menu will appear.

On each menu, the selected option is shown in white, other options are shown in blue, and read-only options are shown in gray. Some menus have multiple screens, which are shown at the top of the screen. The active screen has a gray background and inactive screens have blue backgrounds.

BIOS menus are navigated by pressing keys on the keyboard:

  • F1: Shows help on available keyboard shortcuts.

  • ↑/↓: Select the option above or below the currently-selected option.

  • →/←: Activate the screen to the right or left of the currently-activated screen.

  • Enter: Activates the selected option. If the option is a menu, the menu is opened. If the selected option is a configurable option, a dialog box is opened to enter a new value.

  • F5/F6: Change the selected option to its previous or next value.

  • Esc: Returns to the previous menu.

  • F9: Restores all options to their factory default values.

  • F10: Saves all options and restarts the system.

Several options are available on the front page:

  • Continue: continues the boot process normally, booting the installed operating system

  • Boot Manager: opens a menu to select which device should be booted

  • Device Management: opens a menu which shows the status of the system hardware

The boot manager menu shows the devices available to be booted. The installed operating system and any attached USB drives will be listed. If enabled in the setup utility, the UEFI shell is also listed. Selecting an option boots it.

The setup utility shows the status of the system and allows many configuration options to be changed. These options affect the functionality, stability and security of the system, and should not be changed without an understanding of their meaning.

The setup utility has many screens. Press the →/← arrow keys to select between them.

Several configuration options are frequently used.

Default value: S0 State; possible values: S0 State, S5 State

Controls the state the system enters after G3 (power loss). If set to S5, the system remains off when initially connected to power. If set to S0, the system boots when connected to power.

Secure Boot verifies the digital signatures of boot software to ensure only trusted software loads during a computer's startup. A Supervisor password is required to change these settings.

Default value: Enabled; possible values: Enabled, Disabled

Enables or disables Wake-on-LAN functionality on the onboard network interfaces.

The main screen shows the BIOS version, information about the installed CPU, and the system date and language.

In-Band Error Correction Code (IBECC) is a specialized memory protection technology designed to enhance system reliability without requiring the additional physical memory chips traditionally associated with ECC (Error Correction Code). Unlike standard ECC, which utilizes dedicated "side-band" data lanes and extra DRAM chips to store parity bits, IBECC embeds the error-correcting data directly within the standard memory bandwidth. This allows for industrial-grade data integrity on hardware configurations. IBECC protects data against single-bit errors (Single-Bit Error Correction) and detects multi-bit errors (Double-Bit Error Detection) within the existing memory ranks. A small portion of the system’s total available RAM is reserved to store the ECC metadata. This results in a negligible reduction in total usable memory but significantly increases resilience against data corruption.

Enabling IBECC

To enable IBECC, enable Expert Mode and navigate to Advanced > Memory Configuration.

Set In-Band ECC Support to Enabled.

BIOS Secure Boot is a security feature that prevents malicious software from loading during your PC's startup. It verifies the digital signatures of boot components against a database of trusted keys. If a signature doesn't match, the system will not boot, protecting against pre-boot malware.

To enable Secure Boot:

  1. Go to the Security page to set a Supervisor Password. Then save and exit.

  2. Go to "Administer Secure Boot" on the front page to enable secure boot.

After enabling Secure Boot, the system will only boot to signed EFI boot files or Operating Systems.

If the BIOS detects a 5-second assertion of FAC_RST_R_N at power-on, it will:

  • Reset default UEFI settings to OnLogic factory defaults.

  • Clear any custom defaults.

  • Clear any UEFI passwords (Power On and Boot).

To perform a factory reset:

  1. Hold the factory reset button while the system is powered off.

  2. While holding the reset button, press the power button to power the system on.

  3. After 5 seconds, release the factory reset button.

BIOS Secure Flash is a security measure that protects the BIOS from unauthorized modifications by requiring digitally signed BIOS updates. Only OnLogic-signed BIOS images can be updated to the system.

The exit screen provides options to leave the setup utility and to load and save settings.

  • Exit Saving Changes: saves the current configuration and restarts the system to apply it

  • Save Change Without Exit: saves the current configuration but does not restart the system

  • Exit Discarding Changes: returns to the front page without saving or applying the current configuration

Remote Power Control

Only one of the four onboard LAN ports supports vPro. Port 4, as shown below, must be used to connect to the host PC.

To enable Intel AMT using MEBX in the BIOS setup menu:

  1. Navigate to the front page of the BIOS setup menu and select MEBX.

  2. Set up a new password. First, enter the default password: admin, then enter a new password.

  3. After setting a new password, Intel® AMT will be enabled.

To access Local AMT:

  1. Open the system's Device Manager and check that the LAN device is enumerated correctly.

  2. Open a browser and load the local WebUI: http://127.0.0.1:16992.

  3. Enter the Intel® AMT login, input username (admin) and the password.

  1. On another system on the same network, open a browser and open the WebUI as follows: https://[DUT IP address]:16993.

  2. Ensure both systems are connected to the same network.

  3. If a message indicating “Your connection is not private” appears, select proceed.

  1. Go to BIOS setting > Setup Utility > Advanced > PCH-FW Configuration > AMT Configuration > MAC Pass Through .

  2. Check that the MAC address of the Thunderbolt dock LAN port matches the VPro LAN port.

Intel vPro remote KVM is a hardware-level remote management feature that allows an IT administrator to take full control of a computer's keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) as if they were physically sitting in front of it.

Requirements:

  • Intel vPRO Enterprise SKU CPU.

  • Software Required: MeshCommander / Intel Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) / Third-Party IT Management Solutions.

An example of execution using MeshCommander is shown below.

  1. Add a computer with the hostname and select “Digest / TLS” in the Auth / Security field.

  2. Click Connect to connect to the host computer.

  1. Go to “Remote Desktop” to connect and enter the Consent code that is displayed on the host computer.
