BIOS Setup Utility (SETUP)

This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
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 Changes).

After a while, the following message will be displayed on the lower left of the screen. (The on-screen message
