DXi6902 BIOS Settings

This chapter provides information about the DXi6902 BIOS and includes 

the following sections:

•

Updating the DXi6902 BIOS

•

Required DXi6902 BIOS Settings

Updating the DXi6902 BIOS

The DXI6902 includes a custom Quantum BIOS that is installed on the 

system board in the Node.
After replacing the system board, the BIOS is automatically updated to 

the correct Quantum version when the system boots up. There is no 

need to manually update the BIOS.
After replacing the system board, you 

must

 verify that the BIOS settings 

are set correctly (see 

Required DXi6902 BIOS Settings

 on page 204).
