About the BIOS Setup utility

The server BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure several basic system characteristics. The settings are stored in battery-backed RAM and are retained even when the power is off.

Enter the BIOS Setup utility by restarting the server, then pressing F2 when prompted during the startup process. The Main BIOS Setup utility screen opens. It may not look exactly like the screen shown below.
