v Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view information about, enable, or disable the integrated
SCSI and Ethernet controllers.
Notes:
1. The default setting is Enable for all of the controllers. If you select Disable,
the system will not configure the disabled device, and the operating system
will not detect the device. (This is equivalent to unplugging the device.)
2. If the integrated SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller for a mass
storage device is installed, operating-system startup cannot occur.
v Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system
time that is sent to the Remote Supervisor Adapter when the server is started.
The system time is in a 24-hour format (hour:minute:second). All fields are
required.
v System Security
Select this choice to set or change the power-on or administrator password. See
"Passwords" on page 14 for more information.
The Remote Control Security Settings menu is located in System Security. This
menu is used to set the Failed Login Threshold and the Automatic Lockout Delay.
You can also use this menu to save, change, or delete a remote control
password.
v Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as
memory configuration, cache control, PCI configuration, and system management
settings.
– Memory Configuration
Select this choice to manually enable a bank of four DIMMs used for memory
mirroring and to enable memory mirroring.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the
server can automatically disable the failing DIMM bank and continue operating
with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually enable the
DIMM bank after the problem is corrected. Use the arrow keys to highlight the
bank that you want to enable. Press Enter to view detailed information about
your selection; then, use the arrow keys to select Enable.
– Cache Control
Select this choice to enable or disable the Xcel4 cache.
– PCI Slot Information
Select this choice to configure and view information about the PCI-X slots and
devices in your server and those located in the remote expansion enclosure, if
one is attached.
– System Management Settings
Select this choice to set the server to restart automatically after a
nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) occurs. You can also enable the system to
assign the memory mapped I/O (MMIO) above 4 GB.
v System Event and Error Log
Select this choice to view or clear the System Error Log and enable or disable
debug options. Use the debug options to define the severity level of messages
viewable during POST.
