11.1.3
Entering BIOS Setup
To enter the BIOS Setup utility using a keyboard (or emulated keyboard), press the
<F2>
function key during
boot time when the OEM or Intel logo screen or the POST diagnostic screen is displayed.
The following instructional message is displayed on the diagnostic screen or under the Quiet Boot logo
screen:
Press <F2> to enter setup, <F6> Boot Menu, <F12> Network Boot
Note:
With a USB keyboard, it is important to wait until the BIOS discovers the keyboard and beeps. Until the
USB controller has been initialized and the keyboard activated, key presses are not read by the system.
When the BIOS Setup utility is entered, the main screen is displayed initially. However, if a serious error
occurs during POST, the system enters the BIOS Setup utility and displays the error manager screen instead
of the main screen.
For additional BIOS Setup utility information, see the
BIOS Setup Utility User Guide for the Intel® Server Board
D50TNP, M50CYP, and D40AMP Families.
11.1.4
BIOS Update Capability
To bring BIOS fixes or new features into the system, it is necessary to replace the current installed BIOS
image with an updated one. Full BIOS update instructions are provided with update packages downloaded
from the Intel website.
11.2
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Data
As part of the initial system integration process, the server board/system must have the proper FRU and SDR
data loaded. This action ensures that the embedded platform management system can monitor the
appropriate sensor data and operate the system with best cooling and performance. Once the system
integrator has performed an initial FRU SDR package update, subsequent auto-configuration occurs without
the need to perform additional SDR updates or provide other user input to the system when any of the
following components are added or removed:
•
Processor
•
Memory
•
OCP module
•
Integrated SAS RAID module
•
Power supply
•
Fan
•
Hot-swap backplane
•
Front panel
Note:
The system may not operate with best performance or best/appropriate cooling if the proper FRU and
SDR data is not installed.
11.2.1
Loading FRU and SDR Data
The FRU and SDR data can be updated using a stand-alone FRUSDR utility in the UEFI shell or can be done
using the System Firmware Update Package (SFUP) utility program under a supported operating system. Full
FRU and SDR update instructions are provided with the appropriate system update package (SUP) or System
Firmware Update Package (SFUP) that can be downloaded from
http://downloadcenter.intel.com
