Operations after OS Installation
5.3.1 How to Store the BIOS Information
Store the BIOS information according to the following procedures.
Before starting the operation, if the "OS Boot Monitoring" function of ServerView is enabled, disable it
(it is disabled by default).
If you start up the system while the "OS Boot Monitoring" function remains effective, the operation of
the server may become unpredictable at such times as an abrupt power interruption or restart.
If it is necessary to operate the server with the "OS Boot Monitoring" function enabled, enable the
function after storing the BIOS information.
For details of ServerView, refer to "ServerView User's Guide".
1Turn on the server and insert the "Server Management Tools" disk into the

floppy disk drive.

2When the DOS prompt window appears, enter the following command and

press the [Enter] key.

A:\SMTOOL\>biossave.bat
If storing has already been performed with Server Management Tools, the stored file must exist
in the floppy disk. In this case, overwriting the file may lead to incompletion of BIOS information
recovery. Move the file to another floppy disk, rename the file, or delete it by executing the fol-
lowing command.
A:\SMTOOL\>deldat.bat [Enter]
3If the BIOS information is stored correctly, the following message appears.
Storing procedure is completed. The server can now be turned off safely.
5.3.2 How to Recover the BIOS Information
If the information configured with the BIOS setup utility was deleted due to a drain of the built-in server
battery, etc., restore the BIOS information according to the following procedures.
Do not turn off the server during a program run.
���Before starting up the system by inserting the "Server Management Tools" disk, check to see that the
"OS Boot Monitoring" function of ServerView is disabled (default setting).
If you start up the system while the "OS Boot Monitoring" function remains effective, the operation of
the server may become unpredictable at such times as an abrupt power interruption or restart.
If the server is operated with the "OS Boot Monitoring" function enable, enable the function again
before resuming operation. For details of ServerView, refer to "ServerView User's Guide".
Success!
