Starting the Setup Utility program
To start the Setup Utility program, do the following:
1. Approximately three minutes after the server is connected to a working
electrical outlet, the power button becomes active. Turn on the server and the
POST runs automatically. You will then see the logo screen. The POST is a set
of tests and procedures that are performed each time you turn on your server.
2. Press Del as soon as you see the logo screen. The Setup Utility program opens.
If you have set an administrator password, you must type the administrator
password to access the full Setup Utility program menu. If you do not type the
correct administrator password, a limited Setup Utility program menu is
available.
Note: You can also press TAB as soon as you see the logo screen to review the
POST process and information.
3. The Setup Utility program menu lists various items about the system
configuration settings. Select the settings to view or change.
When working with the Setup Utility program, you must use the keyboard. The
keys used to perform various tasks are displayed at the bottom of each screen.
Note: Use the default setting for any item you are not familiar with. Do not
change the value of unfamiliar items or items that are not mentioned in this
manual to avoid any unexpected problems. If you cannot turn on the server
because of incorrect BIOS settings, refer to Table 7 on page 34 and use the
jumpers to clear CMOS and recover to the factory default settings.

The following tables list all the main menus and items in the Setup Utility
program. Some items might vary because of the BIOS updates.

the value of unfamiliar items or items that are not mentioned in this manual to
avoid any unexpected problems. If you cannot turn on the server because of
incorrect BIOS settings, refer to Table 7 on page 34 and use the jumpers to clear
CMOS and recover to the factory default settings.
2. After updating the BIOS, all the BIOS settings become the default settings of
