power ON/OFF state of your server when AC power is restored after a
power failure. Run the BIOS Setup Utility to change the power ON/OFF

The BIOS Setup Utility includes password setup features and related
security features. Run BIOS Setup to enable and change these features.
(Do not set the password and security features before installing the
operating system.)

When installing an ISA board (not Plug-n-Play): The resources (IRQ,
