When you install the Blade Server for the first time or install/remove optional devices, read this

SYSTEM BIOS ~ SETUP ~

The SETUP utility is provided to configure the basic hardware settings of the CPU blade. This
utility is pre-installed in the flash memory of the CPU blade.
The CPU blade is pre-configured with the optimal parameters for system performance. Therefore,
you do not need to use the SETUP utility except in the cases described below.
IMPORTANT:
The SETUP utility is intended for system administrator use only.
The SETUP utility allows you to set a password. The CPU blade is
provided with two levels of password: Supervisor and User. With
the Supervisor password, you can view and change all system
parameters of the SETUP utility. With the User password, the
system you can view and change are limited.
Do not set a password before installing the operating system.
The CPU blade contains the latest version of the SETUP utility. The
menus and descriptions that appear in your SETUP utility may
differ from the descriptions in this manual. If you find anything
unclear, see the online help or contact your sales representative.
