You can specify whether the keyboard number lock starts on or off. You also can
enable the server to issue error messages when it is run without a diskette drive,
monitor, or keyboard.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system starts. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk
drive, and then checks a network adapter.
If your server contains Wake on LAN hardware and software and your operating
system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can also define a startup sequence
for the Wake on LAN functions.
If the Boot Fail Count choice is enabled, you can restore the BIOS system
defaults after three consecutive boot failures. If this choice is disabled, the BIOS
system defaults can be loaded only from the Configuration/Setup Utility main
menu.
You also can select whether the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities
or a PCI SCSI adapter is given boot precedence. Select PCI Device Boot
Priority, and then select Planar SCSI to give the integrated SCSI controller with
RAID capabilities boot precedence. If a PCI SCSI adapter is to be given boot
precedence, select the slot number where this adapter is installed.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot
record at startup.
Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as
cache control, and PCI configuration. This choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
A warning message appears above the choices on this menu to alert you that the
system might malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly. Follow the
instructions on the screen carefully.
– System Partition Visibility
Select this choice to indicate whether the System Partition is visible. To make
the System Partition visible, select Visible. To make the System Partition
invisible, select Hidden. See "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD" on page 20 for additional information about the System Partition.
– Memory Settings
Select this choice to manually enable a pair of memory connectors.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the
server will automatically disable the failing pair of memory connectors and
continue operating with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must
manually enable the set of memory connectors after the problem is corrected.
Select Memory Settings from the Advanced Setup menu, and use the arrow
keys to highlight the pair of memory connectors that you want to enable; then,
use the arrow keys to select Enable.
