Computer Setup (F10) Utility functionality

Computer Setup (F10) Utility enables you to perform the following tasks:
Update BIOS using a USB device.
●
Change factory default settings and set or change the workstation configuration, which might be
●
necessary when you add or remove hardware.
Determine if all devices installed on the workstation are recognized by the system and
●
functioning.
Determine information about the operating environment of the workstation.
●
Solve system configuration errors that are detected but not fixed during the Power-On Self-Test
●
(POST).
Establish and manage passwords and other security features.
●
Establish and manage energy-saving time-outs.
●
Set the workstation date and time, and modify or restore factory default settings.
●
Set, view, change, or verify the workstation configuration, including settings for CPU, graphics,
●
memory, audio, storage, communications, and input devices.
Modify the boot order of installed mass storage devices such as SATA, optical disk drives and
●
network drives.
Configure the boot priority of SATA hard-drive controllers.
●
Enable or disable Network Server Mode. This mode enables the workstation to start the
●
operating system when the power-on password is enabled with or without a keyboard or mouse
attached. When the keyboard and mouse are attached to the workstation, they remain locked
until the power-on password is entered.
Enable or disable POST Messages to change the display status of POST messages. POST
●
Messages suppresses most messages, such as memory count, product name, and other non-
error text messages. If a POST error occurs, the error is displayed regardless of the mode
selected. To manually enable POST Messages during POST, press any key except
F12.
Specify an Ownership Tag, which is displayed on the screen when the workstation is started or
●
