Using the Setup Utility program
The Setup Utility program is part of the server firmware. You can use the Setup Utility program to view and
change the configuration settings of your server, regardless of which operating system you are using.
However, the operating system settings might override any similar settings in the Setup Utility program.
Starting the Setup Utility program
To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:
1. Connect the server to an ac power source and press the power button on the front panel to turn on the
server. See “Turning on the server” on page 5.
2. Press the F1 key as soon as you see the logo screen. Then, wait for several seconds, and the Setup
Utility program opens. If you have set a password, type the correct password to enter the Setup Utility
program. For password information, see “Using passwords” on page 42.
Setup Utility program interface
This topic provides information about the menus and items in the Setup Utility program.
Depending on the version of your system BIOS, 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 inproperly
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 “System
board components” on page 33.
• If you have changed any hardware in the server, you might need to upgrade the BIOS and the TMM
firmware.
