Setup Utility program interface

This topic provides information about the menus and items in the Setup Utility program.
Depending on the version of your system BIOS, some menu or item information might differ slightly from the
information in this topic. The information in this topic is based on the 0.9b version of the BIOS.
Notes:
1. The default settings are already optimized for you. Use the default value for any item you are not familiar
with. Do not change the value of unfamiliar items or items that are not mentioned in this topic to avoid
unexpected problems. If you consider changing the server configuration, proceed with extreme caution.
Setting the configuration incorrectly might cause unexpected results. If you cannot turn on the server
because of incorrect BIOS settings, use the Clear CMOS /Recovery jumper to recover the BIOS to the
factory default settings or use the BIOS recovery jumper to boot the server from a BIOS recovery image
and recover the BIOS to the version in the image. See "System board jumpers" on page 46.
2. Lenovo provides the BIOS update utility on the Lenovo Support Web site. You can download the BIOS
image and follow the instructions on the Web site to update the BIOS. See "Updating or recovering the
BIOS" on page 67. After updating the BIOS, all the BIOS settings become the default settings of the
updated BIOS version. You need to check and reconfigure the BIOS settings for your specific needs.
3. If you have changed any hardware in the server, you might need to reflash the BIOS, the BMC firmware,
and the FRU/SDR.
The following menus are listed on the BIOS Setup Utility screen:
• Main: See "Main menu" on page 56.
• Advanced: See "Advanced menu" on page 57.
• Security: See "Security menu" on page 60.
• Server Management: See "Server Management menu" on page 61.
