System BIOS Setup
This section describes how to configure Basic Input Output System (BIOS).
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.
The SETUP is configured for optimal performance before the server was shipped to you. Therefore, in most of
cases, you do 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).

Starting and Exiting SETUP Utility
2.2.1 Starting SETUP
Run POST following Chapter 3 (1.1.1 POST sequence).
After a while, the following message appears on the lower left of the screen. (On-screen message depends on
your system environment.)
Press <F2> SETUP, <F4> ROM Utility, <F12> Network
If you press <F2> key at this time, SETUP runs and displays Main menu upon completion of POST. (You can
also press <F2> key while expanding option ROM to display Main menu.)
2.2.2 Exiting SETUP
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.

If password is set, you will be prompted to enter password at next startup of SETUP. (The
Tips
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.
Tips
(The default value might be different from the factory setting.)
