BIOS setup

Starting up by the CD-ROM

To start up the server from the CD-ROM, proceed as follows:

1Make sure that no floppy disk is placed in the floppy disk drive.

2Switch on the power/sleep button.

3Immediately after switching on the power/sleep button, press the eject button of the CD-ROM drive unit and place the start up CD-ROM in the drive.

NOTE: The CD-ROM can be ejected from the CD-ROM drive unit only when the system is on. To start up the server from the CD-ROM drive unit, it is required to set the startup CD- ROM in the drive immediately after the power button is turned on.

If the startup CD-ROM is placed in the drive too late, restart the server by simultaneously pressing the following keys: <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Delete>.

Once the startup CD-ROM is recognized, the hard disk drive is disabled from starting up the server, even if the CD-ROM is ejected.

BIOS setup

Initial system setting on shipment can be changed by the BIOS setup menu. The BIOS setup can be performed regardless of presence or absence of the operating system. Values entered by the BIOS setup are written in the CMOS and the flash memory, and reset values come into effect when the server is restarted. Those values are used as the reference for execution of the POST.

If the entered values and actual hardware don’t correspond to each other, an error message appears after the POST is complete. If this error occurs, change the setting by executing setup operation.
