▼ Verify BIOS Optimal Defaults

In the BIOS Setup utility, you can set optimal defaults, as well as view and edit BIOS
settings as needed. Any changes you make in the BIOS Setup utility (through F2) are
permanent until the next time you change them.
Note – If you are installing Oracle VM for the first time, and have not changed the
BIOS defaults, you do not need to perform this procedure.
In addition to using F2 to view or edit the system BIOS settings, you can use F8
during the BIOS startup to specify a temporary boot device. If you use F8 to set a
temporary boot device, this change is in effect only for the current system boot. The
permanent boot device specified through F2 will be in effect after booting from the
temporary boot device.
Caution – This procedure resets the BIOS settings to the default values, and
overwrites any previously customized settings. To retain customized settings, review
each menu and make note of the customized values before performing this
procedure.
Before you begin, ensure that the following requirements are met:
The server is equipped with a hard drive (HDD).
