# ASUS ESC8000 GPU-Serving BIOS Tuning Applies a 10-setting low-latency profile + verifies a 4-setting passthrough baseline, over Redfish. Validated on ESC8000-E12P (8× RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, 2× Xeon 6730P, BIOS 0804). Settings are reversible until you reboot; the tool is **dry-run by default**. ## Quick start ```bash export BMC_PASSWORD='...' # 1. Dry-run: show what would change on the target (no writes) python3 scripts/tune_gpu_bios.py --target <BMC_IP> # 2. Stage only (reversible, no reboot) — settings pending until next boot python3 scripts/tune_gpu_bios.py --target <BMC_IP> --apply # 3. Stage + reboot + verify active (the full apply) python3 scripts/tune_gpu_bios.py --target <BMC_IP> --apply --reboot ``` ## Two source modes (pick one) - **Profile** (default): targets come from `scripts/gpu_serving_profile.json` (token strings validated on BIOS 0804 / registry `S0317.8.4.0`). - **Template** (most robust): copy the live values from an already-tuned reference server — immune to BIOS-version token drift: ```bash python3 scripts/tune_gpu_bios.py --target <new_BMC_IP> --from-host <tuned_BMC_IP> --apply --reboot ``` Prefer `--from-host` when you have a known-good server (e.g. tuning a second box to match the first). ## The profile (what & why) 10 tuned + 4 baseline-verified.
