    <DetailedDescription>

      <para>The Dell Command BIOS provider for Windows PowerShell lets you query and change the SMBIOS attributes on Dell Client systems. The Dell Command BIOS provider adds the Dellsmbios: drive to Windows PowerShell. Dell Command BIOS provider is compatible with PowerShell 3.0 and later. The DellSmbios: drive has the following two level:

-- Categories, which are high level containers that group the attributes of BIOS.

-- Attributes, each of which represents a BIOS setting

Organization of the DellSmbios: Drive

The Dell Command BIOS provider provider exposes a Windows PowerShell drive with a directory structure that corresponds to a logical grouping of Dell SMBIOS attributes in F2 setup menu. These groupings are known as categories.

The default location for Dell Command BIOS provider is DellSmbios: drive that represents the F2 setup menu. AdvancedBatteryChargeConfiguration attribute is available in PowerManagement category. In the PowerManagement category, the Get-ChildItem cmdlet configures the Advanced Battery Charge BeginningOfDay time and WorkPeriod time duration for individual days using AdvancedBatteryChargeConfiguration attribute on Dell Client systems.

Advanced Battery charge mode uses standard charging algorithm and other methods during non-working hours to maximize battery health. During working hours, ExpressCharge is used to charge the batteries faster. You can configure the days and the time period using BeginningOfDay and WorkPeriod parameters during which the battery has to be charged.
