Configuring Your Server
This chapter describes Basic Input Output System (BIOS) configuration.
When you install the server for the first time or install/remove optional devices, thoroughly read this
chapter for better understanding and correct setups.
SYSTEM BIOS ~ SETUP ~
The SETUP utility is provided to make basic hardware configuration for the server. This utility is
pre-installed in the flash memory of the server and ready to run.
The server is configured with the correct parameters using the SETUP utility and shipped in the best
conditions. Thus, you don't need to use the SETUP utility in most cases. However, you might
wish to use the SETUP utility in the cases described below.
IMPORTANT:
„
The SETUP utility is intended for system administrator use only.
„
The SETUP utility allows you to set a password. The server is
provided with two levels of password: Supervisor and User. With
the Supervisor password, you can view and change all system
parameters of the SETUP utility. With the User password, system
parameters available for viewing and changing are limited.
„
Do not set any password before installing the OS.
„
The server contains the latest version of the SETUP utility. Dialog
boxes appear on your SETUP utility, thus, may differ from
descriptions in this manual. If you find anything unclear, see the
online help or ask your service representative.
