Abstract
A BIOS setting modification system is provided in a computing device. During a computing device runtime for the computing device, an Out-Of-Band (OOB) controller device receives a first BIOS setting modification request and, in response, generates first BIOS setting modification information and causes the transmission of a System Management Interrupt (SMI). During the computing device runtime for the computing device, an SMI handler subsystem in the computing device retrieves, in response to the SMI, the first BIOS setting modification information, either directly from the OOB controller device, or from a storage subsystem in which it was provided by the OOB controller device. The SMI handler subsystem then applies the first BIOS setting modification information to at least one subsystem in the computing device such that a first BIOS setting modification provided by the first BIOS setting modification information takes effect during the computing device runtime for the computing device.
