Chapter 5 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".
You cannot save the set values of the BIOS setup utility in the following location. Write them down
beforehand.

following command.
A:\SMTOOL\>deldat.bat [Enter]
