System Utilities
BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility is provided to perform system configuration changes and to display current settings and
environment information.
The BIOS Setup utility stores configuration settings in system non-volatile storage. Changes affected by BIOS
Setup will not take effect until the system is rebooted. The BIOS Setup Utility can be accessed during POST by
using the F2 key.
Localization
The BIOS Setup utility uses the Unicode standard and is capable of displaying setup forms in English, French,
Italian, German, and Spanish. The BIOS supports these languages for console strings as well.
Console Redirection
The BIOS Setup utility is functional via console redirection over various terminal standards emulation. This
may limit some functionality for compatibility, e.g., usage of colors or some keys or key sequences or support
of pointing devices.
Configuration Reset
Setting the Clear CMOS jumper (board location J1H4) produces a "reset system configuration" request. When
a request is detected, the BIOS loads the default system configuration values during the next POST.
Alternatively, the user can clear CMOS without opening the chassis. Using the control panel, the user can hold
the reset button for 4 seconds and then press the power button while still pressing the reset button.
The Intel Management Module, when installed, provides a software method to issue a "reset system
configuration" request. Software can send a specific OEM command to the Sahalee BMC to indicate the
request.

While in the BIOS Setup utility, the Keyboard Command Bar supports the keys specified in the following table.
