completed

[Alt]

[Del]
in DOS mode
–
When you have moved the CMOS clear switch to the ON position (enabled)
(see the section “Configuring the server and components” on page 38)
In the three above-mentioned cases, you will see the following prompt after the
system has booted:

In a fourth case, i.e. if CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see
other prompts but not the
[F2]
prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this case, BIOS will load the default values into CMOS and attempt to
boot.
When you see the
[F2]
prompt once more, set anew the System Time
and the System Date with the Main Menu of the
BIOS-Setup
(see section
“Main Menu” on page 51)!
