Using the Boot Menu program
The Boot Menu program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that
you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing
settings in the Setup utility.
To use the Boot Menu program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. Press F12 (Select Boot Device). If a bootable USB mass storage device is
4. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to select an item from the Boot
The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the
Setup utility.
Starting the backup UEFI firmware
The system board contains a backup copy area for the UEFI (formerly called BIOS)
firmware. This is a secondary copy of UEFI firmware that you update only during
the process of updating UEFI firmware. If the primary copy of the UEFI firmware
becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the
JP2 jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3). See "System-board jumpers" on
page 14 for the location of the JP2 jumper.
Use the backup copy of the UEFI firmware until the primary copy is restored. After
the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the JP2 jumper back to
the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
Using the integrated management module
The integrated management module (IMM) is a second generation of the functions
that were formerly provided by the baseboard management controller hardware. It
combines service processor functions, video controller, and (when an optional
virtual media key is installed) remote presence function in a single chip.
The IMM supports the following basic systems-management features:
v Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan
v Diagnostic LEDs to report errors that occur with power supplies, microprocessor,
v DIMM error assistance. The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
