Starting the BIOS Setup Utility program
To start the BIOS Setup Utility program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server. If the server is already on when you start this procedure,
you must shut down the operating system, turn off the server, wait a few
seconds until all in-use LEDs are turned off, and restart the server.
2. When the message
Press F2 to enter Setup
is displayed, press F2. (This
prompt is displayed on the screen for only a few seconds. You must press F2
quickly.) If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator
password, you must type the administrator password to access the full BIOS
Setup Utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a limited
BIOS Setup Utility menu is available.
Note: If a serious error is detected during start up, the server will automatically
enter setup and display the Error Manager screen. If the CMOS/NVRAM has
been corrupted, you will not see the F2 prompt, instead, you will see the
following message prompts:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
Information on clearing the CMOS is provided in the Problem Determination and
Service Guide .
3. Select settings to view or change.
