Attention: You must use the menu selections to save custom settings for the
PCI Slot/Device Information choice. The save, restore and load default
settings choices on the main menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility do not
save the PCI Slot/Device Information settings.
After making changes, select:
– Save and exit the PCI Utility to save the changes and return to the
Advanced Setup choice.
– Exit the PCI Utility without saving changes to ignore the changes,
restore the previous settings, and return to the Advanced Setup choice.
PCI Device Control allows you to enable or disable the integrated SCSI,
video, and Ethernet controllers. You can also enable or disable PCI slots from
this menu.
– The default setting is Enable for all the controllers and PCI slots. If you
select Disable, the system will not configure the disabled device and the
operating system will not see the device. (This is equivalent to
unplugging the device.)
– If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller and
mass storage device are installed, operating system startup cannot occur.
– If the video controller is disabled and no video adapter is installed, the
server will have no video capability. However, turning the server off and
on three times results in a default startup that enables video again.
— Memory Settings
Select this choice to manually disable or enable a bank of memory.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the
server can automatically disable the failing memory bank and continue
operating with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually
enable the memory bank after the problem is corrected. Select Memory
Settings from the Advanced Setup menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the
bank that you want to enable; then, use the arrow keys to select Enable.
• System Service Processor Settings
Select this choice to view the interrupt-request setting (IRQ) used by the
Configuration/Setup Utility (system service processor). You can then use the
arrow keys to select a new IRQ setting for the Configuration/Setup Utility from
the list of available choices.
• Event/Error Logs
Select this choice to view or clear error logs.
— Select Clear error logs to clear the error or event log.
— Select POST Error Log to view the three most recent error codes and
messages that the system generated during POST.
— Select System Event/Error Log to view the system event/error log. The
system event/error log contains all the system error and warning messages
that the system has generated. You can use the arrow keys to move between
pages in the system event/error log.
