System Bios (Setup) - NEC Express5800 User Manual

4-2 Configuring Your Server

SYSTEM BIOS (SETUP)

This section describes how to specify Basic Input Output System (BIOS) settings.
Make sure you understand the information in this section so you can specify the correct settings
when installing the server or adding or removing an optional component.
The SETUP utility is used to change system configuration parameters. This utility is pre-installed in
the flash memory of the server and ready to run.
The server is configured with the correct parameters using the SETUP utility and shipped with the
best settings. Thus, you don't need to use the SETUP utility in most cases. However, you might wish
to use the SETUP utility in the cases described below.
IMPORTANT:
The SETUP utility is intended for system administrator use only.

The SETUP utility allows you to set a password. The server is

provided with two levels of password: Administrator and User. With
the Administrator password, you can view and change all system
parameters of the SETUP utility. With the User password, system
parameters available for viewing and changing are limited.
Do not set any password before installing the OS.

The server contains the latest version of the SETUP utility. Dialog

boxes that appear on your SETUP utility might therefore differ from
descriptions in this manual. If you find anything unclear, see the
online help or ask your service representative.
Use the Save & Exit menu or the Esc or F4 key when exiting the

SETUP utility. Exiting the utility by turning off the power or
resetting results in the parameters being lost.
