Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation
5.3.2 Recovering the BIOS Information
If the information configured with the BIOS Setup Utility was deleted due to a drain of the built-in
server battery, etc., restore the BIOS information according to the following procedures.
Do not turn off the server while a program is running.
Before starting up the system, check that the "OS Boot Monitoring" function of ServerView is disabled
(it is disabled by default).
If you start up the system while the "OS Boot Monitoring" function remains effective, the operation of
the server may become unpredictable at such times as an abrupt power interruption or restart. If the
server is operated with the "OS Boot Monitoring" function enabled, enable the function again before
resuming operation. For details of ServerView, refer to "ServerView User’s Guide".
