The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. If the server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the Wake on LAN functions. If you enable the boot fail count, the BIOS default settings will be restored after three consecutive failures to find a boot record. You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the boot record when the server starts. You can enable the use of a USB legacy keyboard in a DOS or System Setup environment. If a keyboard is detected, the USB legacy operation will be disabled. v Advanced Setup Select this choice to change settings for advanced hardware features. Important: The server might malfunction if these options are incorrectly configured. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. - Memory Settings Select this choice to manually enable a pair of memory connectors, node interleaving, and Chipkill memory (if it is supported). If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server automatically disables the failing pair of memory connectors and continues operating with reduced memory. After the problem is corrected, you must enable the memory connectors. Use the arrow keys to highlight the pair of memory connectors that you want to enable, and use the arrow keys to select Enable. - CPU Options Select this choice to disable the microprocessor cache or to set the microprocessor cache to use the write-back or write-through method. Write-back caching generally provides better system performance. Also select this choice to set the microprocessor power-management option. Disable is the default setting. - PCI Bus Control Select this choice to view and set interrupts for PCI devices and to configure the master-latency-timer (MLT) value for the server. - Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Settings Select this choice to change BMC settings - BMC Network Configuration Select this choice to set the network addresses of the BMC. - BMC System Event Log Select this choice to view and clear BMC event log entries. - User Account Settings Select this choice to define user names and passwords for remote access to the BMC. - RSA II Settings Select this choice to view and change Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine settings. Select Save Values and Reboot RSA II to save the changes that you have made in the settings and restart the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine. 68 System x3655 Type 7985: User's Guide

The
startup
sequence
specifies
the
order
in
which
the
server
checks
devices
to
find
a
boot
record.
The
server
starts
from
the
first
boot
record
that
it
finds.
If
the
server
has
Wake
on
LAN
hardware
and
software
and
the
operating
system
supports
Wake
on
LAN
functions,
you
can
specify
a
startup
sequence
for
the
Wake
on
LAN
functions.
If
you
enable
the
boot
fail
count,
the
BIOS
default
settings
will
be
restored
after
three
consecutive
failures
to
find
a
boot
record.
You
can
enable
a
virus-detection
test
that
checks
for
changes
in
the
boot
record
when
the
server
starts.
You
can
enable
the
use
of
a
USB
legacy
keyboard
in
a
DOS
or
System
Setup
environment.
If
a
keyboard
is
detected,
the
USB
legacy
operation
will
be
disabled.
v
Advanced
Setup
Select
this
choice
to
change
settings
for
advanced
hardware
features.
Important:
The
server
might
malfunction
if
these
options
are
incorrectly
configured.
Follow
the
instructions
on
the
screen
carefully.
This
choice
is
on
the
full
Configuration/Setup
Utility
menu
only.
–
Memory
Settings
Select
this
choice
to
manually
enable
a
pair
of
memory
connectors,
node
interleaving,
and
Chipkill
memory
(if
it
is
supported).
If
a
memory
error
is
detected
during
POST
or
memory
configuration,
the
server
automatically
disables
the
failing
pair
of
memory
connectors
and
continues
operating
with
reduced
memory.
After
the
problem
is
corrected,
you
must
enable
the
memory
connectors.
Use
the
arrow
keys
to
highlight
the
pair
of
memory
connectors
that
you
want
to
enable,
and
use
the
arrow
keys
to
select
Enable.
