2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup, Press F12 for Boot Menu is displayed, press F1. (This prompt is displayed on the screen for only a few seconds. You must press F1 quickly.) If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices The following choices are on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Depending on the version of the BIOS code, some menu choices might differ slightly from these descriptions. Note: When you use the server for the first time, you might want to use the Configuration/Setup Utility menu choice Load Default Settings to reset the Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices to the factory default settings, in case they were changed before you received the server. Otherwise, some choices might not be displayed in the menu. v System Summary Select this choice to view configuration information, including the amount of installed memory. When you make configuration changes through other choices in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, the changes are reflected in the system summary; you cannot change settings directly in the system summary. This choice is on the full and limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu. - Processor Summary Select this choice to view the processor information, including the type, speed, and cache size of the microprocessor. v System Information Select this choice to view information about the server. When you make changes through other choices in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the system information. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. v Devices and I/O Ports Select this choice to view or change device assignments and input/output (I/O) ports. Select this choice to enable or disable the integrated SAS/SATA controller and Ethernet controller, and standard connectors (such as serial and parallel). Enable is the default setting for all controllers. If you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable the integrated SAS/SATA controller and no SAS/SATA adapter is installed, the server will have no SAS/SATA capability. If you disable the integrated Ethernet controller and no Ethernet adapter is installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. - Serial Port 1 Select this choice to set up serial port 1. - Serial Port 2 Select this choice to set up serial port 2. - Parallel Port Setup Select this choice to set up the parallel port and to adjust the parallel port resources and features.
