7 BIOS Setup

BIOS is the basic input/output system, which is the basic program code loaded in the
motherboard chipset. It stores the computer's most important input/output program,
POST program and system auto-boot program. It provides the most basic and most direct
hardware settings and control, detects the boot device, and boots the system or other
preboot execution environment.
NF8260M5 server is developed on the basis of AMI Codebase, supporting Legacy and UEFI
operating environments, with abundant in-band and out-of-band configuration functions
and scalability. It can meet the customization needs of different customers.
Notes:
1. We recommend that you record the original BIOS settings before you modify them so it
can safely revert to its previous state if required.
2. The factory default settings are the optimal settings. It is advised not to alter the
parameters before understanding their denotations.
3. The common settings are introduced in detail in this chapter, but less common ones are not.
4. The BIOS content varies according to different configurations of the products; hence the
detailed introduction is elided.
