Configuration software and utilities BIOS Setup

5.3BIOS Setup

This section describes the options available for BIOS Setup. Use Setup to change the default system parameters. You can run BIOS Setup with and without the installed operating system. Setup stores most of the configuration values in battery-backed CMOS; the rest of the configuration is stored in flash memory. The configuration takes effect when you boot the system. POST uses these values to configure the hardware. If the values and the actual hardware do not match, POST generates an error message. You must then run BIOS Setup to correct the configuration.

You can use BIOS Setup to change default settings such as:

–Select floppy disk drive

–Select parallel port

–Select serial port

–Set time/date (is stored in RTC)

–Configure IDE disk drive

–Specify boot sequence

–Enable SCSI BIOS

Recording Setup settings

Record your Setup settings in a list. If the default values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), you must run Setup again. The information in the list could make your task easier.

You cannot call BIOS Setup

If the floppy disk drive is incorrectly configured and you cannot start BIOS Setup from the floppy disk, you may have to clear CMOS memory. To do this you have to change the switch setting on the I/O board (see the section “Configuring the server and components” on page 38).

Afterwards run BIOS Setup to check and change the settings for the floppy disk drive, and then return the switch to its original position.
