Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices
The following choices are on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Depending
on the version of the BIOS code in the server, some menu choices might differ
slightly from these descriptions.
v System Summary
Select this choice to view configuration information, including the type, speed,
and cache sizes of the microprocessors, type and speed of installed USB
devices, and the amount of installed memory. When you make configuration
changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, the
changes are reflected in the system summary; you cannot change settings
directly in the system summary.
This choice is on the full and limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
v System Information
Select this choice to view information about the server. When you make changes
through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some of those
changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings
directly in the system information.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
– Product Data
Select this choice to view the machine type and model of the server, the serial
number, the revision level or issue date of the BIOS and diagnostics code
stored in electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), and the
revision level of the firmware on the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine.
– System Card Data
Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server
components.
v Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output
(I/O) ports.
Select this choice to enable or disable integrated SAS and Ethernet controllers
and all standard ports (such as serial and parallel). Enable is the default setting
for all controllers. If you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the
operating system will not be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting
the device). If you disable the integrated Ethernet controller and no Ethernet
adapter is installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability. If you disable the
integrated USB controller, the server will have no USB capability; to maintain
USB capability, make sure that Enabled is selected for the USB Host Controller
and USB BIOS Legacy Support options.
Note: If the USB host controller is disabled, the Remote Supervisor Adapter II
SlimLine remote keyboard, remote mouse, remote disk, OS watchdog, and
in-band management functions are also disabled.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
v Date and Time
Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format
(hour:minute:second).
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
v System Security
Select this choice to set passwords. See "Passwords" on page 150 for more
information about passwords. You can also enable the chassis-intrusion detector
to alert you each time the server cover is removed.
