Setup Utility program interface

This topic provides general information about the menus and items in the Setup Utility program.

Depending on the BIOS version of your server, some menu or item information might differ slightly from the information in this topic.

Notes:

•The default settings already are optimized for you. Use the default value for any item you are not familiar with. Do not change the value of unfamiliar items to avoid unexpected problems. If you consider changing the server configuration, proceed with extreme caution. Setting the configuration incorrectly might cause unexpected results. If you cannot turn on the server because of incorrect BIOS settings, use the Clear CMOS jumper to restore the BIOS settings to the factory default settings. See “Locating parts on the system board” on page 15.

•If you have changed any hardware in the server, you might need to reflash the BIOS.

The Setup Utility program main interface consists of the following menus:

•“Main menu” on page 22

•“Devices menu” on page 22

•“Advanced menu” on page 23

•“Power menu” on page 24

•“Security menu” on page 23

•“Startup menu” on page 24

•“Exit menu” on page 24

Lenovo provides the BIOS update utility on the Lenovo Support Web site. You can download the BIOS update utility to update the BIOS if the newer BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. See “Updating or recovering the BIOS” on page 27.

If the power to your server is interrupted while the BIOS is being updated and your server cannot start correctly, use the BIOS recovery switch to recover from a BIOS update failure. See “Recovering from a BIOS update failure” on page 28.

Main menu

After entering the Setup Utility program, you can see the Main menu, which lists basic information about the BIOS and BMC, total memory size, and system date and time.

To set the system date and time on the Main menu, see “Setting the system date and time” on page 24.

Devices menu

You can view or change various device settings on the Devices menu in the Setup Utility program. On each submenu, press Enter to view the information or show selectable options and select a desired option by using the up and down arrow keys. Some items are displayed on the menu only if the server supports the corresponding features.

The Devices menu contains the following submenus. For more information, enter the corresponding submenu and refer to the instructions on the screen.

•Serial Port Setup: View and set serial port configuration parameters.

•USB Setup: View and set USB configuration parameters.

•ATA Drive Setup: View and set SATA hard disk drive configuration parameters.
