v Date and Time
Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format
(hour:minute:second).
This choice is on the full UEFI Setup Utility menu only.
v Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options, including the startup
sequence, keyboard NumLock state, PXE boot option, and PCI device boot
priority. Changes in the startup options take effect when you start the server.
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. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a disc in the CD-RW/DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive,
and then checks a network adapter.
This choice is on the full UEFI Setup Utility menu only.
v Boot Manager
Select this choice to view, add, delete, or change the device boot priority, boot
from a file, select a one-time boot, or reset the boot order to the default setting.
v System Event Logs
Select this choice to access the System Event Manager, where you can view the
POST event log and the system-event log.
The POST event log contains the three most recent error codes and messages
that were generated during POST.
The system-event log contains POST and system management interrupt (SMI)
events and all events that are generated by the baseboard management
controller that is embedded in the integrated management module.
Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the blade server is lit but
there are no other error indications, clear the system-event log. Also, after you
complete a repair or correct an error, clear the system-event log to turn off the
system-error LED on the front of the blade server.
– POST Event Viewer
Select this choice to enter the POST event viewer to view the UEFI diagnostic
codes.
