Important: The server might malfunction if these options are incorrectly configured. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully. - System Partition Visibility Select this choice to specify whether the System Partition is to be visible or hidden. - Memory Settings Select this choice to manually enable a pair of memory DIMMs. If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the blade server automatically disables the failing memory pair and continues operating with reduced memory capacity. After the problem is corrected, you must manually enable the memory connectors. Use the arrow keys to highlight the rows representing the pair that you want to enable; then, use the arrow keys to select Enable. - CPU Options Select this choice to enable or disable the microprocessor cache. In addition, you can set the microprocessor cache mode to write-back (WB) or write-through (WT). Write-back caching generally provides better system performance. - PCI Bus Control Select this choice to view and set interrupts for PCI devices and to configure the masterlatency-timer value for the blade server. - Integrated System Management Processor Settings Select this choice to enable or disable the Reboot on System NMI option on the menu. If you enable this option, the blade server will automatically restart 60 seconds after the service processor issues a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to the blade server. • Error Logs Select this choice to view or clear the POST error log. - Select POST Error Log to view the three most recent error codes and messages that the system generated during POST. From the POST Error Log menu, select Clear event/error logs to clear the Error log. • Save Settings Select this choice to save the changes you have made in the settings. • Restore Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the previous settings. • Load Default Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the factory settings. • Exit Setup Select this choice to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you have not saved the changes you have made in the settings, you are asked whether you want to save the changes or exit without saving them. Configuration 13
