Setup utility menu choices

The following choices are on the Setup utility main menu for the UEFI. Depending
on the version of the IBM System x Server Firmware (server firmware), some menu
choices might differ slightly from these descriptions. For more information on
UEFI-compliant firmware, go to http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/
supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5083207&brandind=5000008.
v 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.

– Adapters and UEFI Drivers
Select this choice to view information about the adapters and device drivers
installed in the server that are compliant with UEFI 1.10 and UEFI 2.0.
– Network Configuration
Select this choice if you want to use the driver's own configuration capability
to configure the device.

Select this choice to view or change the memory settings. To configure
memory mirroring, select System Settings → Memory → Memory Mirroring

Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and
input/output (I/O) ports. You can configure the serial ports; configure remote
console redirection; enable or disable integrated Ethernet controllers, the
SAS/SATA adapter, SATA optical drive channels, and PCI slots; and view the
system Ethernet MAC addresses. If you disable a device, it cannot be
configured, and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this is
equivalent to disconnecting the device).
