System BIOS Setup

This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
Before you install the server and add or remove optional devices, make sure you have read and understood
this section to configure properly.
2.1

Overview

BIOS Setup Utility (SETUP) is a utility to do basic hardware settings. This utility is installed in a flash memory
in the server as standard and can be run without requiring a media for boot.
BIOS settings were configured with optimal settings before the server was shipped to you. Therefore, in most
of cases, you should not need to use the SETUP. Use only when the case applies to any of cases
described in Chapter 3 (2.4 Cases that Require Configuration).
