Usually the recommendation is to do the BIOS Config Setup in WinPE and then after the 'Client Install & Restart' have the BIOS Update step go in. At the end just throw in a reboot to have it go into effect. You don't want the BIOS Update to automatically reboot so you should have a switch there to disable that.
