After a few seconds, POST displays the following message prompting you to launch the
BIOS setup utility, SETUP, stored in the system memory of the server. This message
appears at bottom left on the screen.
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
Launch the BIOS setup utility when you need to change the settings to meet the
requirements for the server. As long as the above message is not displayed with an error
message, you don't have to launch the utility. (Ignore the message. POST will
automatically proceed.)
To launch the SETUP utility, press F2 while the above message is displayed. See Chapter
4 for setup and parameters.
The server automatically restarts POST all over again when you exit the SETUP utility.

If the server has an optional disk array controller installed, POST displays the message
prompting you to launch the RAID configuration utility and the disk array BIOS setup
utility.
Refer to the manual provided with the disk array controller for detail instructions.
POST will automatically proceed a few seconds later.

If you set a password using the BIOS setup utility, SETUP, the password entry screen
appears upon successful completion of POST.
Up to three password entries will be accepted. Three incorrect password entries disable
the server to boot. In such a case, turn off the power and wait about ten seconds before
turning on to boot the server.
IMPORTANT:
Do not set a password before installing an OS.

The OS starts when POST completes.
