About the BIOS

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) has a Setup Utility stored in the BIOS flash
memory. The Setup Utility reports system information and can be used to configure
the BIOS settings. The configurable data is provided with context-sensitive help and
is stored in the system's battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the configuration stored in
the CMOS RAM is invalid, the BIOS settings return to their default optimal values.
There are seven menus in the BIOS Setup Utility, which appear in this order: Main,
Advanced, PCI, Boot, Security, Chipset, and Exit. To navigate the menus or options
listed on the menu, use the arrow keys. The options or fields that you can configure
on a menu appear in color. For further instructions on how to navigate and change
settings in the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to the online instructions provided on the
menu.

your server, refer to the following sections:
