System BIOS Setup

This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
Before you install the server and add or remove optional devices, make sure you have read and understood
this section to configure properly.
2.1

Overview

SETUP is a utility to do basic hardware settings. This utility is pre-installed in the Internal Flash Memory in
the server as standard and can be run without requiring a media for boot.
In most of cases, the SETUP was configured for optimal performance before the server was shipped to you.
Therefore, in most of cases, you should not need to use the SETUP utility. Use only when the case applies
to any of cases described in Chapter 3 (2.4 Cases that Require Configuration).
2.2

Starting and Exiting SETUP Utility

2.2.1

Starting SETUP Utility

Run POST following Chapter 3 (1.1.1 POST sequence).
After a while, the following message will be displayed on the lower left of the screen.
Press <F2> SETUP, <F3> Internal Flash Memory, <F4> ROM Utility, <F12> Network
If you press the <F2> key at this time, SETUP runs and displays the Main menu upon completion of POST.
(You can also press the <F2> key while the NEC logo appears to display the Main menu.)
2.2.2

Exting SETUP Utility

To exit SETUP after saving parameters, select Save & Exit → Save Changes and Exit.
To exit SETUP without saving parameters, select Save & Exit → Discard Changes and Exit.
Important
If password is set, you will be prompted to enter password at next startup of
SETUP. (The timing when prompt appears depends on setting of password.)
Up to three password entries are accepted. If you enter incorrect password
consecutively three times, the system halts (you can no longer proceed).
In this case, power off the server once, then power it on.
To restore the default value, select Save & Exit → Load Setup Defaults.
Important
(The default value might be different from the factory setting.)
