BIOS Setup Utility (SETUP)
This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
Before you install the server and add or remove optional devices, make sure you have read and understood
this section to configure properly.
2.1
Overview
BIOS Setup Utility (SETUP) is a utility to do basic hardware settings. This utility is installed in a flash memory in
the server as standard and can be run without requiring a media for boot.
BIOS settings were configured with optimal settings before the server was shipped to you. Therefore, in most
of cases, you should not need to use the SETUP.

Starting and Exiting SETUP Utility

Starting SETUP Utility
Run POST following Chapter 3 (1.5.1 POST Execution Flow).
After a while, the following message will be displayed on the lower left of the screen.
Press <F2> SETUP, <F3> Internal Flash Memory, <F4> ROM Utility, <F12> Network
If you press <F2> key at this time, SETUP runs and displays Main menu upon completion of POST. (You
can also press <F2> key while NEC logo appears to display Main menu.)
Tips
If the password has been set, you will be prompted to enter the password at
the next startup of SETUP. (The timing when prompt message appears
depends on password setting.)
Up to three password entries will be accepted. If you fail to enter the
password correctly for three consecutive times, the server halts. (You can
no longer proceed.) Power off the server.
