NPW/PW BIOS/SINIT ACM

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could clarify whether "Allow NPW" (bit 1 in the Policy Control field), applies to both the BIOS and SINIT ACMs? In particular, if I clear this flag, do I need to use a PW BIOS ACM as well as a PW SINIT ACM, or can I get away with using only a PW SINIT ACM? 

For context, I'm running into an issue with a server platform which seems to have shipped with an NPW BIOS ACM.

Thanks.
