Setup guide

Checking the BIOS Settings
After wiring the workstation and before installing Linux, turn the workstation
on and check the BIOS version and BIOS settings.
WARNING If BIOS settings are not set up correctly before installing Linux, you
will need to reinstall the OS.
The certified BIOS version for your workstation is 3.07.
Make sure the BIOS version number that appears on screen while booting the
workstation matches the certified version. If the versions do not match, update
the BIOS to the certified version, after configuring BIOS settings. BIOS update
instructions are at the end of this chapter.
To adjust system BIOS settings, press F10 while booting the workstation.
The following table lists the Autodesk certified BIOS settings. Items not listed
