Configuring Your Server
Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration. You can configure your system, as well as
option boards you may add to your system, using the BIOS SETUP Utility. Several unique system parameters are configured
using the BIOS SETUP, which is stored in the system FLASH memory.
The RAID configuration utility configures the RAID System and logical drives connected to the Internal RAID Controller.
If your system has been factory configured, the BIOS SETUP or RAID configuration utility do not need to be run unless you
want to change the password or security features, add certain types of option boards or devices, upgrade your system board, or
change the RAID configuration.
This chapter also provides information on several system configuration parameters that are set by jumpers on the system board.
However, these parameters do not usually require change.
SYSTEM BIOS (SETUP)
The SETUP utility is used to change system configuration parameters. 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.
„
Use the Exit menu when exiting the SETUP utility. Exiting the utility with the POWER switch
or reset operation causes the stored parameters to lose.
