Chapter 2 Powering On the Server Module, Configuring BIOS and Resetting BIOS, SP and CMOS 2-5
2.3 Configuring BIOS Settings
This section describes how to use the BIOS Setup Utility to view and modify the
BIOS settings. The BIOS Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS memory. You access the
BIOS Setup Utility by rebooting the server, watching the POST messages, and
pressing F2 when prompted.
2.3.1 Viewing the BIOS Setup Utility
You can view the BIOS Setup Utility and configure the BIOS using several different
interfaces:
■
Attach the multi-port dongle cable to the UCP connector on the front of the server,
and attach a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB connectors, and a VGA monitor
to the video connector on the multi-port dongle cable (see
Section 1.5, “Using the
Multi-Port Dongle Cable for Testing” on page 1-9 ).
■
Use the remote video console of the SP ELOM or ILOM and redirect the server’s
console output. See the corresponding SP documentation collection for more
information.
■
Use a terminal (or a computer running terminal emulation software) through the
serial port on the server dongle. See the corresponding SP documentation
collection for more information.
2.3.2 Configuring the BIOS
The configured data is provided with context-sensitive Help. The data is stored in the
system's battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the configuration stored in the CMOS RAM
is invalid, the BIOS settings will default to optimal values.
To navigate the BIOS Setup Utility, use the left and right arrow keys to move
sequentially back and forth through the screens. Fields that you can configure are
highlighted or appear in color. Use the keyboard up and down arrow keys to scroll
through a screen's submenu. Use the Tab key to move back and forth across columns.
