By predefining certain configuration parameters of the Device Configuration > Firmware, you specify values to be used by operational administrators. For example, you can restrict the selection of valid image files.

Note:

To use these functions effectively, configure the relevant object rights in the administrator policies.For further information, see Protecting firmware configuration.

To create a new list entry, click Add and then edit the new entry.The spelling of your entry must correspond to the existing file and path names. Note the following:
File and paths names are case-sensitive.
Do not use spaces.
Specify file names with their extensions such as .idf

Section	Option	Description
Predefined IDFs	Image name	Name of an image file (IDF) that if marked as valid can be selected in the firmware configuration under Image file
		Example: `recovery_x.idf`
		Used shows the number of devices using the image
		Assigned shows the number of devices to which the image has been assigned
Predefined paths	Path name	Container path for software packages and images, which can be selected in the firmware configuration under Path if marked as valid
		Example: `elias/UC_RC6_X64`
Predefined UEFI files	UEFI file	Name of a .udf file that if marked as valid can be selected in the firmware configuration under UEFI file
		An UEFI file is needed to update a device’s UEFI firmware with the appropriate binary data.
