When you install the blade 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 CPU blade. This utility
is pre-installed in the flash memory of the CPU blade and ready to run.
The CPU blade 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 CPU blade 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 CPU blade 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 sales representative.
