Configuring Your System
This chapter describes Basic Input Output System (BIOS) configuration.
When you install the server for the first time or install/remove optional devices, thoroughly read
this chapter for a better understanding BIOS setup requirements.

SYSTEM BIOS ~ SETUP ~

The BIOS SETUP utility allows you to make basic hardware configuration changes to the server.
This utility is pre-installed in the flash memory of the server and is ready to run at system
startup.
Your server is factory-configured with the correct BIOS parameter settings. These settings are
referred to as the "default settings." Normally, you won't need to make changes to the BIOS
default settings.
IMPORTANT:
The SETUP utility is intended for system administrator use only.
!
Incorrect settings of BIOS parameters could make your server
inoperable.
The SETUP utility allows you to set a password. The server is
!
provided with two levels of passwords: Administrator and User. With
the Administrator 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 passwords before installing the operating system.
!
Your server contains the latest version of the BIOS SETUP utility.
!
Dialog boxes appear in 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 sales representative.
