14” short depth rack server

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left

frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be config-

ured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When

an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note: the AMI BIOS

has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot

keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar-

row keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This

Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the

<Delete> key to enter the main menu of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup

screens. An AMI BIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen below the copyright message.

Warning! Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.  Flashing  the wrong  BIOS  can cause

irreparable  damage  to the system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequen-

tial damages arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS

is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.

7-2

Main Setup

When you first enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen. You can always return to the Main setup

screen by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.
