System Utilities
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change system
configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system
being present. See
“Additional Information and Software”
for a link to the Technical
Product Specification where you will find details about specific BIOS setup screens.
Starting Setup
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:
•
When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test.
•
When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS”
position (enabled).
In the two conditions listed above, during the Power On Self Test (POST), you will see
this prompt:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see warning
prompts but not the <F2> prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. For
instructions on clearing the CMOS, see
“Clearing the CMOS” on page 27
