Recording custom Setup values
Keep a record of the custom Setup values you have set up for your system BIOS. If the custom values
ever need restoring (after a CMOS clear, for example), you must run the Setup Utility and enter these
custom settings again. Make sure to update this record whenever you make any change to these
Setup settings or install new hardware.
You can either record the Setup values manually (hard copy) or use a CMOS backup utility.
To manually record the custom Setup values:
1.
Access the Setup utility.
2.
Go through each menu and submenus page, and press
Print Screen
to make a hard copy.
For multiple page menus, move to each page and print each screen.
3.
If a printer is not available, write down the values on a piece of paper. Make sure to write them
down legibly and accurately.
4.
Label and date the Setup values hard copy, and then store it in a safe and accessible place,
preferably with other user documentation for your ProLiant server.
CMOS backup utility
There are third-party utilities that read the CMOS settings and record them to a regular file, which can
then be backed up through normal means, or copied to an external storage media. Some of these
utilities also offer the option of restoring the CMOS settings so you need not re-enter them manually.
These utilities are not always compatible with all versions of CMOS or types of CMOS. In addition,
these utilities are not compatible with all operating system versions. Be sure to use a CMOS backup
utility that is designed for the particular CMOS type and OS version installed in your ProLiant server.
For information on a compatible CMOS backup utility, contact your local HP representative.
Loading system defaults
If your system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reboot the server, enter Setup and
load the system default settings to correct the error. These default settings have been selected to
optimize your server’s performance.
To load the system defaults:
1.
Reboot the server in a normal manner.
2.
During POST, press
F10
to access the Setup Utility.
3.
Press
F9
to load the default values.
4.
Press
F10
to save the changes you made and close the Setup Utility.
