Configuring Your Server
Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration. You can configure your system, as well
as the option boards you may add to your system, using the BIOS SETUP Utility. Several unique system parameters are
configured using the BIOS SETUP, which is stored in the system FLASH memory.
The RAID configuration utility configures the RAID System and logical drives connected to the Internal RAID
Controller.
If your system has been factory configured, the BIOS SETUP or RAID configuration utility do not need to be run
unless you want to change the password or security features, add certain types of option boards or devices, upgrade your
system board, or change the RAID configuration.
This chapter also provides information on several system configuration parameters that are set by jumpers on the system
board. However, these parameters do not usually require change.
SYSTEM BIOS (SETUP)
The SETUP utility is provided to make the basic hardware configuration for the server. This utility is pre-installed in the
flash memory of the server and ready to run.
The server is factory-configured with the correct parameters using the SETUP utility. Only use the SETUP utility in the
cases described below.
IMPORTANT:
The SETUP utility is intended for system administrator use only.
The SETUP utility allows you to set a password. The server is provided with two levels
of password: Supervisor and User. With the Supervisor password, you can view and
change all the system parameters of the SETUP utility. With the User password, system
parameters available for viewing and changing are limited.
Do not set any password before installing the OS.
The server contains the latest version of the SETUP utility. Dialog boxes appearing on
your SETUP utility, may thus differ from the descriptions in this manual. If you find
anything unclear, see the online help or ask your service representative.
Use the Exit menu when exiting the SETUP utility. Exiting the utility using the POWER
switch or reset operation loses the stored parameters.
