Storing The System Setting Information - Fujitsu Primergy BX620 S4 User Manual

Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation
5.3 Storing the System Setting
Information
Before starting operations, store the configuration information of the BIOS Setup
Utility. By storing this information, the system can be recovered with the stored
information in case of a system failure (such as when the information is deleted due
to the drain of the built-in battery). Use Server Management Tools for storing and
recovering the system configuration information.
The Management Blade has the similar function, which collectively manages the backup of multiple
Server Blade setting information items.
For details, refer to "BX600 Management Blade Hardware Guide".
Since the system configuration information is significant in maintaining the server, be sure to store the
BIOS information after the following operations. In addition, save the stored data.
• When the information is changed with the BIOS Setup Utility
• When the hardware configuration of this server is changed (e.g. a CPU, memory, internal hard disk
unit or expansion card is added, removed or changed)
As the stored system configuration information will be used during maintenance, etc., send it to your
maintenance personnel.
■ Preparation for using Server Management Tools
Use the USB Cable to connect to the USB floppy disk drive to the Server Blade. For more information
on the connection procedure, refer to "Start Guide".
Before using Server Management Tools, prepare the "Server Management Tools" disk supplied with the
server at hand.
■ Cautions
• Server Management Tools are for this Server Blade only. Do not use those tools on other systems. If
they are used, the system can be damaged.
• Only the information that is configured with the BIOS Setup Utility can be stored/recovered with
Server Management Tools. The BIOS information in internal RAID devices cannot be stored/
recovered.
• Make sure to start up the Server Blade with the "Server Management Tools" disk before running
Server Management Tools. Do not run Server Management Tools on the server started from the hard
disk or by the other floppy disks. Otherwise, the system may be corrupted.
• Do not eject a floppy disk while the floppy disk access LED is on. Such an action may lead not only
to corruption of the floppy disk data but also an unstable state of the system.
• If an error message appears while running Server Management Tools, respond to the message
according to "

Server Management Tools error messages" ( p.200).
