Users Guide

System BIOS Settings page, when you click the Memory Settings link, the features pertaining to the system memory appear. You

can view or modify the settings by navigating to the respective categories.

You can set a BIOS Setup password, on the System Security page. If you have set the setup password, enter the password to

enable and modify the BIOS settings. Else, the BIOS settings appear in a read-only mode. Restart the system after setting the

password.

When pending values from the previous session exist or the inband configuration is disabled from an out-of-band interface, Server

Administrator does not allow BIOS Setup configuration.

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.

Fans

Click the Fans object to manage your system fans. Server Administrator monitors the status of each system fan by measuring fan

RPMs. Fan probes report RPMs to the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service.

When you select Fans from the device tree, details appear in the data area in the right-side pane of the Server Administrator home

page. The Fans object action window can have the following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and Alert

Management.

Under the Properties tab, you can:

• View the current readings for your system's fan probes and configure minimum and maximum values for fan probe warning

threshold.

NOTE: Some fan probe fields differ according to the type of firmware your system has, such as BMC or ESM. Some

threshold values are not editable on BMC-based systems.

• Select fan control options.

• View current alert actions settings and set the alert actions that you want to be performed in the event that a fan returns a

warning or failure value.
