Windows Setup 4-11
Step 3: Disable Boot Monitoring Function
Check whether the power is ON and make settings for properly performing setup for later on.
This equipment has a function to monitor the main unit at startup. (Enabled in the configuration at
shipment)
When reinstalling the operating system, this monitoring function needs to be disabled. Otherwise
the installation may not be done properly. Follow the steps in this section and make proper settings.
IMPORTANT:
If you skip the settings described here, the system will be restarted
forcefully while Windows setup screen is shown and the setup will be unsuccessful; BIOS
may repeat Windows setup in an invalid manner. In this case, you will need to restart the
setup procedures from the beginning.
TIPS:
For details of operations for BIOS Setup Utility and parameters, see the separate
volume of User’s Guide.
<Procedure for Changing BIOS settings>
1. Turn on the display and the peripheral equipment connected to the NEC Express5800/ft
series.
CHECK:
If the power cords are connected to a power controller like a UPS,
make sure that it is powered on.
TIPS:
When the AC power of the NEC Express5800/ft series is turned on, after
the power is supplied, BMC is synchronized between the PCI modules. Upon the
completion of the BMC synchronization, the POWER LED of either PCI module
will be lit.
2. Detach the front bezel in the case of a rack-mount model (or open it in the case of a tower
model).
