Server boot priority NIC Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) priority BIOS password For other settings, see the HUAWEI Server Purely Platform BIOS Parameter Reference. NOTE l The password complexity check function is enabled by default. l A simple password is easy to crack, which makes the system vulnerable. You are advised to use a password that meets complexity requirements or to enable the password complexity check function.
If the original RAID array is redundant but does not have a hot spare disk, data is automatically rebuilt to the new hard disk. The procedure ends. For details, see the HUAWEI V2&V3 Server RAID Controller Card User Guide. ----End 6.2.2 CPU...
The maximum number of DIMMs in this table is based on two-processor configuration. Note: This table is for reference only. For details about the components that can be purchased, consult your local Huawei sales representatives. 6.2.3.2 Memory Subsystem Architecture The G560 provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots.
To configure memory protection modes, access the BIOS and choose Advanced > Memory Configuration. For details, see the HUAWEI Server Grantley Platform BIOS Parameter Reference. Online Spare Memory Configuration Online spare memory provides protection against degraded DIMMs by reducing the likelihood of uncorrected memory errors.
If a CPU socket has bent pins or contains foreign matter, or the bonding pad is damaged, stop the installation and contact Huawei technical support. Horizontally hold the CPU and heat sink to align pin 1 of the CPU and heat sink with Pin 1 of the notched corner on the bracket, and gradually place the CPU and heat sink on the bracket along the guide sleeves.
