3 BIOS Setup

This chapter introduces how to configure BIOS. All operations described in this section
are only limited to operators or administrators with system maintenance qualification.
BIOS is a basic input and output system. The system parameters and hardware
parameters 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. If no especial requirement, you
are suggested to use the default value and not alter the parameters arbitrarily.
1. Before changing the BIOS setup, please record the corresponding original setup. Hence
when there are operating problems in the system due to the option altered, the setup can revert to
the previous state.
2. Ordinarily the factory default settings are the optimal settings. Don't try to alter the
parameters before you understand their denotations.
3. The common settings are introduced in detail in this chapter. The less referred options
during using are simply explained or not.
4. The BIOS content varies according to different configurations of the products; hence the
detailed introduction is elided.
