Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices The following choices are on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Depending on the version of the BIOS, some menu choices might differ slightly from these descriptions. v System Summary Select this choice to display configuration information, including the type, speed, and cache sizes of the microprocessors and 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. - Processor Summary Select this choice to view information about the microprocessors installed in the blade server. - USB Device Summary Select this choice to view information about the USB devices installed in the blade server. v System Information Select this choice to display information about the blade server. When you make configuration changes through other options 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. - Product Data Select this choice to view the machine type and model of the blade server, the serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS and diagnostics code that are stored in electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM). v Devices and I/O Ports Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports. You can also enable or disable the integrated SAS and Ethernet controllers, all standard ports (such as serial), and the I/O-expansion card. 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 Ethernet controller, the blade server will have no Ethernet capability. With an optional BladeCenter Storage Expansion Unit 3, you can control all of the SAS hard disk drives in the host blade server. Set BSE3 Controls All Blade SAS HDD to Enable to control all of the hard disk drives in the host blade server. - Remote Console Redirection Select this choice to enable Serial over LAN (SOL) and to set remote console communication parameters. - Video Select this choice to view information about the integrated video controller. - System MAC Addresses Select this choice to set and view the MAC addresses for the Ethernet controllers on the blade server. Note: MAC addresses are displayed only for those devices with PXE enabled 40 BladeCenter HS21 Type 8853: Installation and User's Guide
