Phoenix SecureCore BIOS software

Your ProLiant server uses BIOS to boot up the system. The Phoenix SecureCore BIOS software is a
ROM BIOS-based firmware that allows reliability, manageability, and connectivity for server
platforms. This software contains a set of programs permanently stored in an EEPROM chipset located
on the system board. These programs assist in managing, initializing, and testing the hardware
devices installed on the computer.
The Phoenix SecureCore software serves three functions:
•
Configure the system from the Phoenix SecureCore Setup Utility
Using the Setup program, you can install, configure, and optimize the hardware devices on your
system (clock, memory, disk drives, etc.). In addition, you can enable various features such as
serial console redirection, PXE boot, and much more.
•
Initialize hardware at boot using POST routines
During power-on or warm reset, the software performs Power-On Self-Test (POST) routines to test
components, to allocate resource for various hardware devices, and to prepare the system to
boot to various operating systems.
•
Perform run-time routines
Using the software, perform basic hardware routines that can be called from DOS and Windows
applications.

Configuring the system BIOS

NOTE: For ease of reading, Phoenix SecureCore Setup Utility will be simply referred to as "Setup"
or "Setup Utility" in this guide. Also, the screenshots used in this guide display various Setup menu
screens with the default values identified. These values may not be the same as those in your server.
Phoenix SecureCore Setup Utility is a hardware configuration program built into your system's Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS). Since most systems are already properly configured and optimized,
there is normally no need to run this utility.
You will need to run this utility under the following conditions:
•
When changing the system configuration including:
○
Setting the system time and date
○
Configuring the hard drives
○
Specifying the boot device sequence
