3.2 Using the Boot Selection Menu program
The Boot Selection Menu is used to temporarily redefine the first startup device without
changing boot options or settings in the Setup utility.
To use the Boot Selection Menu program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12. If a bootable USB
mass storage device is installed, a submenu item (USB Key/Disk) is displayed.
4. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to select an item from the menu and press
Enter.
The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Setup utility.
3.3 Starting the backup server firmware
The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is a secondary
copy of the server firmware that you update only during the process of updating the server
firmware. If the primary copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy of the server firmware, turn off the server;
then, move the UEFI boot recovery J22 jumper to the backup position (pins 2 and 3).
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the
primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the UEFI boot recovery J22 jumper
back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
3.4 Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD provides software setup tools and installation
tools that are designed for your server. The ServerGuide program detects the server model and
optional hardware devices that are installed and uses that information during setup to
configure the hardware. The ServerGuide program simplifies operating-system installations
by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically.
The ServerGuide program requires a supported HUAWEI server with an enabled startable
(bootable) CD drive. In addition to the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, you must have
your operating-system CD to install the operating system.
To start the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the CD, and restart the server. If the CD does not start, see "ServerGuide problems"
in the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the HUAWEI Documentation CD.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the following tasks:
a. Select your language.
b. Select your keyboard layout and country.
c. View the overview to learn about ServerGuide features.
