• 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 Setup utility menu only.
• 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 Setup utility menu only.
