  • Page 17: Using The System Setup Program

    Using the System Setup Program Start Menu The system employs the latest AMI Core BIOS, which is stored in Flash memory. The Flash memory supports the plug-and-play specification, and contains a BIOS Setup program, the Power On Self Test (POST) routine, and the PCI auto-configuration utility.

  • Page 18: Bios Setup Options At Boot

    BIOS Setup Options at Boot The user initiates SETUP by pressing <F2> during POST. Console Redirection The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems on a server, which has not successfully booted to the OS. The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console.

  • Page 19: Configuring Special Keys

    Console redirection uses ANSI terminal emulation, which is limited to basic ASCII characters. There are no function keys, arrow keys, or control keys in this character set. However, the PowerEdge C5220 software requires the use of function keys and control keys for ordinary functions. You can emulate a function key or control key by using a special key sequence called an escape sequence, to represent a specific key.

    ANSI Escape Sequence Other Sequences Page Down <ESC>/ Reset <ESC>R<ESC>r <ESC>R General Help In addition to the Item Specific Help window, the Setup Utility also provides a General Help screen. This screen can be called up from any menu by pressing <F1>.

  • Page 21: Server Platform Setup Utility Screens

    Server Platform Setup Utility Screens Conventions The following typographical conventions are used in the tables: • The text and values in the Setup Item, Options, and Help columns in the tables are displayed on the BIOS Setup screens. • Text marked with an * in the Settings column of the tables indicates default values.
