overwrite older event logs automatically, start up the BIOS Setup Utility, select the [IPMI] submenu
from the [Advanced] menu and set [Event Log Full Mode] to [Overwrite]. [Wrap Around] is an initial
value. For details on this setting, refer to "8.2.10 IPMI Submenu" ( Pg.202).

Notes
• The "Server Management Tools" disk supplied with this server is for use with this server only. Do
not use those tools on other systems. If it is used, the system can be damaged.
• Make sure to perform this operation only when the server is started with the "Server Management
Tools" disk. Do not run Server Management Tools on the server started from the hard disk or by the
other floppy disk. Otherwise, the system may be damaged.
• Do not eject the floppy disk when the Floppy disk access LED is on. Doing so may destroy the data
on the floppy disk.
Starting Server Management Tools
Before rebooting the system, first check that the ServerView "OS Boot Monitoring" function has been
disabled (default setting is "Disabled").
If the system is started with this function enabled, the server may automatically turn off or restart
improperly.
If the "OS Boot Monitoring" function is needed, it should be reset to "enabled" before resuming normal
server operation. For details about ServerView, refer to the "ServerView User's Guide".
