Bios Chassis Configuration
Is there a way to check Bios items on a Dell Poweredge, such as AC Power Recovery Mode status, without having to install OMSA? For example, when I do install OMSA and run: omreport chassis biossetup |grep -A2 -i power Attribute : AC Power Recovery Mode Setting : On I get what I'm looking for. I'm just wondering if there is a lighter weight utility or way to check the status of mainly just this item (AC Power Recovery Mode).

L3 Cache
Basic question - mostly curiosity driven. An SC1425 with Debian stock kernel 2.6.26-2-bigmem reports that the Xeon 2.8GHz processors have their 8MiB L3 cache disabled according to lshw.
