System BIOS Setup
This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
2.1
Overview
SETUP is a utility to do basic hardware settings. This utility is pre-installed in the Internal Flash Memory in the
server as standard and can be run without requiring a media for boot.
The SETUP is configured for optimal performance before the server was shipped to you. Therefore, in most of
cases, you do not need to use the SETUP utility.
Use only when the case applies to any of cases described
in Chapter 3 (2.4 Cases that Require Configuration)
.

Starting and Exiting SETUP Utility
2.2.1
Starting SETUP
Run POST following
Chapter 3 (1.1.1 POST sequence)
.
After a while, the following message appears on the lower left of the screen. (On-screen message depends on
your system environment.)
Press <F2> SETUP, <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 expanding option ROM to display
Main
menu.)
Tips
If password is set, you will be prompted to enter password at next startup of SETUP. (The
timing when prompt appears depends on setting of password.)
Up to three password entries are accepted. If you enter incorrect password consecutively
three times, the system halts (you can no longer proceed).
In this case, power off the server once, then power it on.
