Identification Of Servers (Uid Switch) - NEC Express5800 120Rj-2 User Manual

User Guide
1. After a few seconds from power-on, POST starts checking the memory. The
count message of the basic and expansion memory appears at top left on the
display unit screen. The memory check may takes a few minutes to complete
depending on the memory size of the server. Also, it may take approximately
one minute for the screen display to appear after rebooting the server.
2. Some messages appear upon completion of the memory check. These
messages appear to indicate that the system has detected the CPU, baseboard
management controller, keyboard, and mouse.
3. After a few seconds, POST displays the following message prompting you to
launch the BIOS SETUP utility stored in the system memory of the server.
Launch the BIOS setup utility when you need to change the settings to meet
the requirements for the server. As long as the above message is not displayed
with an error message, you don't have to launch the utility. (Ignore the
message. POST will automatically proceed.)
To launch the SETUP utility, press F2 while the above message is displayed.
The server automatically restarts POST all over again when you exit the
SETUP utility.
The message "<F12> to Network" prompts you network booting (PXE boot). If
you press F12 , the POST searches for boot device on network.
4. If the POST detects the optional add-in card, it display the message prompting
you to launch the add-in card BIOS configuration utility. (Ignore the message.
POST will automatically proceed a few seconds later.)
Refer to the manual that comes with the optional add-in card for detail.
5. If you set a password using the BIOS setup utility, SETUP, the password entry
screen appears upon successful completion of POST.
Up to three password entries will be accepted. Three incorrect password entries
disable the server to boot. In such a case, turn off the power and wait about ten
seconds before turning on to boot the server.
Do not set a password before installing an OS.
6. The OS starts when POST completes.

Identification of Servers (UID Switch)

An "UID (Unit ID) LED" is provided on the front panel and rear panel. If more than
one server is mounted in a single rack, the LED identifies the server you are going to
maintain.
The UID LED goes on when the UID (Unit ID) switch on the front panel is pressed. It
goes off when the switch is pressed again.
