NOTE: The NIC configuration information within the Server Administrator BIOS setup may be inaccurate for embedded NICs. Using the BIOS setup screen to enable or disable NICs might produce unexpected results. It is recommended that you perform all configurations for embedded NICs through the actual System Setup screen that is available by pressing <F2> while a system is booting.

Fans

Under the Properties tab, you can:

•View the current readings for your system's fan probes and configure minimum and maximum values for fan probe warning threshold.

NOTE: Some fan probe fields differ according to the type of firmware your system has, such as BMC or ESM. Some threshold values are not editable on BMC-based systems.

•Select fan control options.
