such as system messages. The BIOS object action window can have
the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges:
Properties and Setup.
Properties
Subtab: Information
Under the Properties tab, you can view BIOS information.
Setup
Subtab: BIOS
Under the Setup tab, you can set the state for each BIOS setup object.
NOTE: Setting the boot sequence to Device List on the Setup tab results in the
following boot sequence: diskette, IDE CD drive, hard drive, option ROMs (if the
devices are available).
You can modify the state of many BIOS setup features including but not
limited to the Serial Port, Network Interface Controller cards, Boot Sequence,
User Accessible USB Ports, CPU Virtualization Technology, CPU
HyperThreading, AC Power Recovery Mode, Embedded SATA Controller,
Console Redirection, and Console Redirection Failsafe Baud Rate. You can
also configure internal USB device, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) settings,
optical drive controller settings, automatic system recovery (ASR) Watchdog
Timer, embedded hypervisor and additional LAN network ports on
motherboard information.
Depending upon your specific system configuration, additional setup items
may be displayed. However, some BIOS setup options may be shown on the
F2 BIOS Setup screen that are not accessible in Server Administrator.
NOTE: The NIC configuration information within the Server Administrator BIOS
setup may be inaccurate for embedded NICs. Using the BIOS setup screen to
enable or disable NICs might produce unexpected results. It is recommended that
you perform all configurations for embedded NICs through the actual System Setup
screen that is available by pressing <F2> while a system is booting.
NOTE: The BIOS Setup tab for your system only displays the BIOS features that are
supported on your system.
