10.1.1
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory.
10.1.2 Starting
Setup
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:
When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test
When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS”
position (enabled)
In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but
not
the <F2> prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
When this happens, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
10.1.3 Setup
Menus
Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those that are provided
for informational purposes, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-
selectable parameters. Parameters may be changed depending upon the security option
chosen. If a value is not changeable due to insufficient security privileges (or other reasons), the
feature’s value field becomes inaccessible.
The bottom portion of the BIOS Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used for
navigating the Setup utility. Table 46 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the
BIOS Setup menus.
