OCPRF100 MP Server System Technical Product Specification
Revision 1.0
6.3BIOS Setup Utility
The OCPRF100 MP server system BIOS automatically configures system resources. BIOS Setup allows the user to set preferences about system operation. It stores these preferences in CMOS configuration RAM. Because BIOS Setup resides in flash ROM, the user can invoke it without booting an operating system.
During POST, BIOS prompts the user to enter BIOS Setup with the following message:
Press <F2> to enter Setup
After the user presses F2, a few seconds may pass while BIOS completes its test and initialization tasks.
BIOS Setup supports security passwords which reduce the risk of unauthorized modifications. If enabled, BIOS Setup requests an administrator password before allowing modifications.
Screen Format. The BIOS Setup screen is divided into four functional areas.
