– Network

• Date and Time
Select this choice to set the date and time for the server. The date is set in month/day/year format. The
time is set in 24-hour format (hour:minute:second).
This choice is on the full UEFI Setup Utility menu only.
• Start Options
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 blade server.
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the blade server checks devices to find a boot record.
The blade server starts from the first boot record that it finds. If the blade 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 UEFI Setup utility menu only.
• Boot Manager
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.
• System Event Logs
Select this choice to access the System Event Manager, where you can view the POST event log and the
system-event 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.
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.

You can set, change, and delete a power-on password and an administrator password through this

startup and to have access to the Setup Utility menu.
