Dell Optiplex 980 BIOS unlocking request
#1
Hello all BIOS Gurus,

I am facing a typical issue. I bought a Dell Optiplex 980 and I have 3 of these machines. While ordering, the sales rep never guided me that I would need to opt for Intel vPro and only then would I be able to access the Intel vPro menu by pressing Ctrl+P on Dell logo. Though I have Intel vPro enabled in my BIOS, it still does not take me to vPro menu even when I press Ctrl+P.

I have come to know that there is one way to unlock this, that is by putting the system bios in Manufacturer mode and then select option 1 or 2 for changing management mode. However, I dont know how to put the system BIOS in manufacturer mode.

The other way might be to unlock the BIOS to have the vPro BIOS enabled.

Please review and assist me on this issue. I would highly appreciate any assistance offered on this issue. I know ths is a very unusual request and may be first of its kind, but I have full faith in your expertise.

The link to download my BIOS is ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/O980-A08.EXE

I have been able to extract the .rom file from the exe using the command O980-A08.exe -writeromfile

Is that what might help?

Thanks a ton for looking into the issues that I am facing. Is there a way that I could extract the complete Flash from a Optiplex 980 which has everything working and put it on to my system? If yes, please guide me further.

The bios file can be extracted but i don`t knew the method for modifying these special dell bioses as its completely different from normal phoenix bioses .
