can be adjusted through special setup procedure. BIOS has a great impact on the system
booting and running, setting parameters improperly may cause conflicts among hardware
resources, or degrade the system running performance. Hence, understanding the BIOS
setup is significant to the configuration of your server. It is suggested to use the default
value, and not to alter the parameters arbitrarily.

which the Operating System will no longer start. We recommend that you record the original
BIOS settings before you modify them so it can safely revert to its previous state if required.
