Starting the Setup Utility program

Complete the following steps to start the UEFI Setup Utility program:

1.Turn on the server.

Note: Approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active.

2.When the prompt Press F1 for Setup appears, press F1. If you have set both a power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the administrator password to access the full UEFI Setup Utility menu. If you do not type the administrator password, a limited UEFI Setup Utility menu is available.

3.Select settings to view or change.

Setup Utility menu choices

The following choices are on the UEFI Setup Utility main menu (UEFI was formerly called BIOS). Depending on the version of the firmware, some menu choices might differ slightly from these descriptions.

vSystem Information

Select this choice to view information about the server. When you make changes through other options in the UEFI Setup Utility program, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the system information. This choice is on the full UEFI Setup utility menu only.

–System Summary

Select this choice to view configuration information, including the ID, speed, and cache size of the microprocessors, machine type and model of the server, the serial number, the system UUID, and the amount of installed memory. When you make configuration changes through other options in the UEFI Setup Utility program, the changes are reflected in the system summary; you cannot change settings directly in the system summary.
