Chapter 4
Configuring Your Modular Server
This chapter describes Basic Input Output System (BIOS) configuration.
When you install the modular server for the first time or install/remove optional devices, thoroughly
read this chapter for better understanding and correct setups.

SYSTEM BIOS ~ SETUP ~

The SETUP utility is provided to make basic hardware configuration for the modular server. This
utility is pre-installed in the flash memory of the modular server and ready to run.
The modular server is configured with the correct parameters using the SETUP utility and shipped
in the best conditions. Thus, you don't need to use the SETUP utility in most cases. However, you
might wish to use the SETUP utility in the cases described below.
IMPORTANT:
The SETUP utility is intended for system administrator use only.
The SETUP utility allows you to set a password. The modular
server is provided with two levels of password: Supervisor and User.
With the Supervisor password, you can view and change all system
parameters of the SETUP utility. With the User password, system
parameters available for viewing and changing are limited.
Do not set any password before installing the OS.
The modular server contains the latest version of the SETUP utility.
Dialog boxes appear on your SETUP utility, thus, may differ from
descriptions in this User's Guide. If you find anything unclear, see
the online help or ask your service representative.
