Storing The System Configuration Information - Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX300 S3 User Manual

Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation
5.3 Storing the System Configuration
Information
Before starting operations, store the configuration information of the BIOS Setup
Utility. By storing this information, the system can be recovered with the stored
information in case of a system failure (such as when the information is deleted due
to the drain of the built-in battery). Use Server Management Tools for storing and
recovering the system configuration information.
Since the system configuration information is significant in maintaining the server, be sure to store the
BIOS information after the following operations:
• When the information is changed with the BIOS Setup Utility
• When the hardware configuration of this server is changed (e.g. CPU, memory, baseboard or
expansion card is added/removed or changed)
As the stored system configuration information will be used during maintenance, etc., send it to your
maintenance engineer.
■ Cautions
• "Server Management Tools" disk is exclusively for this server. Do not use it on other systems.
Otherwise, the systems may be damaged.
• Only the information that is configured with the BIOS Setup Utility can be stored/recovered. The
BIOS information in internal SCSI devices or expansion cards cannot be stored/recovered.
• Make sure to perform this operation only when the server is started with the "Server Management
Tools" disk. Do not run Server Management Tools on the server started from the hard disk or by the
other floppy disk. Otherwise, the system may be damaged.
• Do not eject a floppy disk while the floppy disk access LED is on. Such an action may lead not only
to corruption of the floppy disk data but also an unstable state of the system.
• If an error message appears while running Server Management Tools, respond to the message
according to "

■
Server Management Tools Error Messages" ( pg.264).
