Server Node Basic Input/Output System (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.
