omconfig should be able to do it. You can also look on the support site for the R410 and look for the Dell Deployment Toolkot (DTK). The DTK is designed for enmasse BIOS changes.
BTW - you might want to look at your other BIOS settings. Typically for HPC, HT is turned off and there are a few other settings (Turbo On, C-state's off, max power, and one other I think). I'm betting the account team didn't put the HPC SKU on the order. The HPC SKU changes the BIOS settings for you.

Linux sees the two quad cores as 16 logical processors. I need to disable it in 40 or so machines. Is there any way of disabling it via a script? ipmitool, racadm, omconfig, anything?? Thanks, Daniel. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
