Select this choice to view the system-board identifier, the revision level or issue date of the firmware,
the integrated management module II and diagnostics code, and the version and date.
This choice is on the full UEFI Setup utility menu only.
• System Settings
Select this choice to view or change the compute node component settings.
– Adapters and UEFI Drivers
Select this choice to view information about the adapters and UEFI device drivers in the compute node.
Note: Before you configure a UEFI-compatible device, update the firmware for your compute node.
See "Updating firmware and device drivers" on page 21 for information about how to update the
firmware for your compute node.
To configure a UEFI-compatible expansion adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Select Please refresh this page first and press Enter.
2. Select the device driver that you want to configure, and press Enter.
3. When you have finished changing settings, press Esc to exit from the program; select Save
to save the settings that you have changed.
– Processors
Select this choice to view or change the microprocessor settings.
– Memory
Select this choice to view or change the memory settings.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the compute node automatically
disables the failing pair of memory connectors and continues operating with reduced memory. After
the problem is corrected, you must manually enable the memory connectors. Select System Memory
Details and use the arrow keys to highlight the pair of memory connectors that you want to enable;
then, set the connectors to Enable.
– Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports. You can
configure the remote console redirection and enable or disable integrated Ethernet controllers. If you
disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system cannot detect it (disabling a
device is equivalent to disconnecting the device).
You can also choose to enable or disable adapter option ROM support. Disabling support can
potentially improve the time it takes the compute node to start.
– Power
Select this choice to view or change the power scheme settings.
– Operating Modes
Select this choice to determine operational settings, such as operating mode (acoustic, efficiency,
or performance) and memory speed.
– Legacy Support
Select this choice to view or set legacy support.
Notes:
– In the legacy mode, the system has limited ROM space for installed options. Legacy PXE boot
supports up to four network interface card (NIC) ports. If more than four NIC ports are occupied,
legacy PXE boot will not be attempted on the fifth NIC port and following ports. There are two ways
to enable legacy PXE boot on the desired NIC ports:
1. Prioritize the desired NIC connectors by changing the ROM execution Order.
