Using the System Setup Program
Description
Determines the order in which the system searches for boot devices during system
startup. Available options can include the diskette drive, CD drive, hard drives, and
network. If you have installed a RAC, additional options such as virtual floppy and
virtual CD-ROM may be present.
NOTE:
System boot is not supported from an external device attached to a SAS or
SCSI adapter. See support.dell.com for the latest support information about booting
from external devices
Determines the order in which the system searches the hard drives during system
startup. The selections depend on the hard drives installed in your system.
Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive. Hard disk allows the USB
flash drive to act as a hard drive. Floppy allows the USB flash drive to act as a
removal diskette drive. Auto automatically chooses an emulation type.
Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. When set to Enabled, the
system re-attempts the boot sequence after a 30-second timeout if the previous
boot attempt failed.
Displays a screen to configure the system's integrated devices.
Displays a screen to change the IRQ assigned to each of the integrated devices on
the PCI bus, and any installed expansion cards that require an IRQ.
Displays a screen to configure serial communication, external serial connector, fail-
safe baud rate, remote terminal type, and redirection after boot.
Displays a screen to configure the front-panel LCD options and to set a user-
defined LCD string.
Displays a screen to configure the system password and setup password features.
See Table 2-7. For further information, see "Using the System Password" on page 46
and "Using the Setup Password" on page 48.
Determines whether your system starts up with the NumLock mode activated on
101- or 102-key keyboards (does not apply to 84-key keyboards).
Enables or disables reporting of keyboard errors during the POST. Select Report for
host systems that have keyboards attached. Select Do Not Report to suppress all
error messages relating to the keyboard or keyboard controller during POST. This
setting does not affect the operation of the keyboard itself if a keyboard is attached
to the system.
