The default setting is Enable for all the controllers and PCI slots. If you select Disable, the disabled device will not be configured and will be invisible to the operating system. This is equivalent to unplugging the device. If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller and mass storage device are installed, operating system startup cannot occur. If the video controller is disabled and no video adapter is installed, the server will have no video capability. However, turning the server off and on three times results in a default startup that enables video again. Memory Settings: Select this choice to manually disable or enable a bank of memory. If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server can automatically disable the failing memory bank and continue operating with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually enable the memory bank after the problem is corrected. Select Memory Settings from the Advanced Setup menu; then use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to highlight the bank that you want to enable. Use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to select Enable. System Service Processor Settings: Select this choice to view the IRQ used by the Advanced System Management Processor (system service processor). You can then use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to select the IRQ for the Advanced System Management Processor from the list of available choices. Event/Error Logs: Select Event/Error Logs to choose to view either the POST error log or the system event/error log. POST Error Log: Select POST Error Log to view the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during POST. You can clear the error log by selecting Clear error logs. System Event/Error Log: Select System Event/Error Log to view the system event/error log. The system event/error log contains all the system error and warning messages that the system has generated. You can use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) keys to move between pages in the system event/error log. You can clear the event log by selecting Clear error logs. Save Settings: After you make configuration changes, review them to be sure that they contain the correct information. If the information is correct, select Save Settings to save the selected changes. 36 Netfinity Server HMM
