The default setting is Enable for all the controllers and
PCI slots. If you select Disable, the disabled device
will not be configured and will be invisible to the
operating system. This is equivalent to unplugging
the device.

If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no
other controller and mass storage device are
installed, operating system startup cannot occur.

If the video controller is disabled and no video
adapter is installed, the server will have no video
capability. However, turning the server off and on
three times results in a default startup that enables
video again.
Memory Settings:
Select this choice to manually
disable or enable a bank of memory.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory
configuration, the server can automatically disable the
failing memory bank and continue operating with reduced
memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually
enable the memory bank after the problem is corrected.
Select Memory Settings from the Advanced Setup menu;
then use the Up Arrow (
↑
) or Down Arrow (
↓
) key to
highlight the bank that you want to enable. Use the Left
Arrow (
←
) or Right Arrow (
→
) key to select Enable.
System Service Processor Settings:
Select this
choice to view the IRQ used by the Advanced System
Management Processor (system service processor). You
can then use the Left Arrow (
←
) or Right Arrow (
→
) key to
select the IRQ for the Advanced System Management
Processor from the list of available choices.
Event/Error Logs:
Select Event/Error Logs to
choose to view either the POST error log or the system
event/error log.
POST Error Log:
Select POST Error Log to view the
three most recent error codes and messages that the
system generated during POST. You can clear the error
log by selecting Clear error logs.
System Event/Error Log:
Select System
Event/Error Log to view the system event/error log. The
system event/error log contains all the system error and
warning messages that the system has generated. You
can use the Up Arrow (
↑
) or Down Arrow (
↓
) keys to move
between pages in the system event/error log. You can
clear the event log by selecting Clear error logs.
