Setup Utility Menu Choices - IBM 7944 Installation And User Manual

Setup utility menu choices

Use the Setup utility main menu to view and configure server configuration data and settings.
The following choices are on the Setup utility main menu for the UEFI. Depending on the version of the
firmware, some menu choices might differ slightly from these descriptions.
• System Information
Select this choice to view information about the server. When you make changes through other choices in
the Setup utility, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change
settings directly in the system information. This choice is on the full Setup utility menu only.
– System Summary: Select this choice to view configuration information, including the ID, speed, and
cache size of the microprocessors, machine type and model of the server, the serial number, the
system UUID, and the amount of installed memory. When you make configuration changes through
other options in the Setup utility, the changes are reflected in the system summary; you cannot change
settings directly in the system summary.
– Product Data: Select this choice to view the system-board identifier, the revision level or issue date of
the firmware, the integrated management module and diagnostics code, and the version and date.
This choice is on the full Setup utility menu only.
• System Settings
Select this choice to view or change the server component settings.
– Processors: Select this choice to view or change the processor settings.
