System x3650 M4 BD Type 5466: Installation and Service Guide
Select this option to view the status of the controllers in the system as
reported by their corresponding drivers.
Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format
(hour:minute:second).
This choice is on the full Setup utility menu only.
Select this choice to view or change the start options, including the startup
sequence, keyboard NumLock state, PXE boot option, and PCI device boot
priority. Changes in the startup options take effect when you start the server.
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to
find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. If the
server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system
supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the
Wake on LAN functions. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a disc in the CD-RW/DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive,
and then checks a network adapter.
This choice is on the full Setup utility menu only.
Select this choice to view, add, delete, or change the device boot priority, boot
from a file, select a one-time boot, or reset the boot order to the default setting.
Select this choice to enter the System Event Manager, where you can view the
POST event log and the system-event log. You can use the arrow keys to move
between pages in the error log.
The POST event log contains the three most recent error codes and messages
that were generated during POST.
The system-event log contains POST and system management interrupt (SMI)
events and all events that are generated by the baseboard management
controller that is embedded in the integrated management module (IMM).
Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there are
no other error indications, clear the system-event log. Also, after you complete a
repair or correct an error, clear the system-event log to turn off the system-error
LED on the front of the server.
