- Select SATA/SAS Configuration and follow the instructions on the screen to view information about the installed SATA or SAS devices, such as a hard disk drive or an optical drive. • On the Server Management menu, select System Information to view information about your system. Setup Utility program interface This topic provides general information about the menus and items in the Setup Utility program. Depending on the BIOS version of your server, some menu or item information might differ slightly from the information in this topic. Notes: • The default settings already are optimized for you. Use the default value for any item you are not familiar with. Do not change the value of unfamiliar items to avoid unexpected problems. If you consider changing the server configuration, proceed with extreme caution. Setting the configuration incorrectly might cause unexpected results. If you cannot turn on the server because of incorrect BIOS settings, use the Clear CMOS jumper to restore the BIOS settings to the factory default settings. See "System board jumpers and switches" on page 55. • If you have changed any hardware in the server, you might need to reflash the BIOS, the TMM firmware, and the FRU/Sensor Data Records (SDR). The Setup Utility program main interface consists of the following menus: • "Main menu" on page 64 • "Advanced menu" on page 64 • "Security menu" on page 65 • "Server Management menu" on page 65 • "Boot Options menu" on page 66 • "Boot Manager menu" on page 66 • "Save & Exit menu" on page 66 Lenovo provides the BIOS update utility on the Lenovo Support Web site. You can download the BIOS update utility to update the BIOS if the newer BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. See "Updating or recovering the BIOS" on page 70. If the power to your server is interrupted while the BIOS is being updated and your server cannot start correctly, use the BIOS recovery switch to recover from a BIOS update failure. See "System board jumpers and switches" on page 55. Main menu After entering the Setup Utility program, you can see the Main menu, which lists basic information about the BIOS, microprocessor type, microprocessor speed and core numbers, total memory size, and system date and time. To set the system date and time on the Main menu, see "Setting the system date and time" on page 66. Advanced menu You can view or change various server component settings on the Advanced menu in the Setup Utility program. The Advanced menu contains various configuration submenus and items. On each submenu, press Enter to show selectable options and select a desired option by using the up and down arrow keys or type desired values from the keyboard. Some items are displayed on the menu only if the server supports the corresponding features. 64 ThinkServer RD440 User Guide and Hardware Maintenance Manual
