Lenovo RS210 manual v Date and Time, v Start Options, v Boot Manager, v System Event Logs

Note: The configuration forms for UEFI 2.1 and greater compliant add-on network devices might be located here.

vDate and Time

Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format (hour:minute:second). This choice is on the full Setup Utility menu only.

vStart Options

Select this choice to view or change the start options, including the startup sequence, keyboard NumLock state, PXE boot option, and PCI device boot priority. Changes in the startup options take effect when you start the server.

The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a disc in the DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks a network adapter.

This choice is on the full Setup Utility menu only.

vBoot Manager

Select this choice to view, add, delete, or change the device boot priority, boot from a file, select a one-time boot, or reset the boot order to the default setting.

If the server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the Wake on LAN functions. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a disc in the CD-RW/DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks a network adapter.

vSystem Event Logs

Select this choice to enter the System Event Manager, where you can view the error messages in the system event logs. You can use the arrow keys to move between pages in the error log.

The system event logs contain all event and error messages that have been generated during POST, by the systems-management interface handler, and by the system service processor. Run the diagnostic programs to get more information about error codes that occur.

Important: If the system-error LED on the front of the server is lit but there are no other error indications, clear the IMM system-event log. Also, after you complete a repair or correct an error, clear the IMM system-event log to turn off the system-error LED on the front of the server.

–POST Event Viewer

Select this choice to enter the POST event viewer to view the POST error messages.

–System Event Log

Select this choice to view the IMM system event log.

–Clear System Event Log
