Tools to update bios parameters for C series server - C460

[nam.truong]

Is there a tool that can be used to automate the updates of bios parameters for C serie server ?

beside using USB bootable image to bootup ? as it's tough to automate the update process in datacenter

when we have hundreds of servers if not thousands.

So far, I could either update the bios parameters using a golden template through manual export and import or USB bootable image.

But this is not good enough.  

Thanks,

NT
