Setup utility menu choices

This topic provides information about the server Setup utility menu choices.
The following choices are on the UEFI Setup utility main menu. Depending on the
version of the UEFI firmware, some menu choices might differ slightly from these
descriptions. For more information on UEFI-compliant firmware, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5083207.
v System Information
Select this choice to view basic 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.
– 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,
QPI link speed, the serial number, the system UUID, and the amount of
installed memory. When you make configuration changes through other
choices 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 revision level or issue date of the firmware, the
integrated management module and diagnostics code, and the version and
date.
v System Settings
Select this choice to view or change the server component settings. This choice is
on the full Setup utility menu only.
– Adapters and UEFI Drivers
Select this choice if you want to use the configuration capabilities of older
generation UEFI device drivers to configure the device.
– Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change settings for devices and input/output
(I/O) ports. You can configure the serial ports; configure remote console
redirection; enable or disable the Ethernet controller, SAS/SATA controller,
SATA optical drive channels, and PCI slots. 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).
– Driver Health
Select this choice to view the health of the controllers in the server as
reported by their device drivers.
– Integrated Management Module
Select this choice to view or change the settings for the integrated
management module.
- Power Restore Policy
Select this choice to determine the mode of operation to which the server
will be restored after a power outage occurs. You can select Always Off,
Restore, or Always On to restore the server the state that it was set to at
the time of the power outage.
- Commands on USB Interface Preference
Select this choice to enable or disable the Ethernet over USB interface on
the IMM.
