Re: Speed
- "Why not an ACTUAL jumper(s) on motherboards to enable diagnostic modes, management engines, BIOS/EFI updates etc? You should need physical access, more than USB or other socket on outside and NEVER default access by software without a HW jumper enabling it."
I'm not going to pay data-center staff to go around swapping jumpers on hundreds of servers every time we want to update the firmware, then put them all back again. That goes double if we want to do the firmware update in the middle of the night when load is low.
