BIOS Setup Utility (SETUP)
This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
Before you install the server and add or remove optional devices, 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 Configuration).

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

If you press <F2> key at this time, SETUP runs and displays Main menu upon completion of POST. (You
can also press <F2> key while NEC logo appears to display Main menu.)

Important
If password is set, you will be prompted to enter password at next startup of
SETUP. (The timing when prompt appears depends on setting of password.)
Up to three password entries are accepted. If you enter incorrect password
consecutively three times, the system halts (you can no longer proceed).
In this case, power off the server once, then power it on.
To restore the default value, select Save & Exit → Load Setup Defaults.
Important
(The default value might be different from the factory setting.)
