Using the Setup Program

You can use the BIOS Setup program to change the configuration information and boot sequence
for the server. This chapter tells you how to access the BIOS Setup program and lists Setup
features, options, and default settings.
NOTE
For reference purposes, you should write down the current Setup settings.
When you make changes to the settings, update this record.

BIOS Setup Program Modes

The BIOS Setup program has three modes of operation:
Normal mode for normal operations
Configure mode for clearing passwords (see Chapter 2 for instructions)
Recovery mode for BIOS recovery
The BIOS Setup Program Operating mode is controlled by the setting of the configuration jumper
block. The jumper is set to normal mode at the factory. The Maintenance menu is not available
when Setup is used with the jumper in normal mode. The Maintenance menu is available only when
the BIOS configuration jumper covers pins two and three.
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the server. The
BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST)
memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. The menu bar is shown below.
