Option ROMs associated with information handling system processing
components is selectively disabled to reduce the time associated with one
or more boots of the information handling system, such as during
deployment of applications after manufacture of the information handling
system. An Option ROM selector module identifies one or more Option ROMs
to disable at a boot, such as Option ROMs associated with processing
components that are not needed for deployment of applications, and
communicates the disabled Option ROMs to an Option ROM boot execution
controller of the information handling system, such as with SMBIOS
tokens. At a subsequent boot, the Option ROM execution controller
prevents the BIOS from loading disabled Option ROMs for execution so that
boot time is reduced with impact to the deployment of applications.
