HP ProLiant DL165 G7 Server Software Configuration Guide

System BIOS configuration 5
NOTE: If you repeatedly receive “Run Setup” messages, the battery located on the system board
(XBAT1) may be defective. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask
a qualified technician for assistance.
The Setup Utility loads the configuration values in a battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS
RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM, which allows configuration data to be
retained when power is turned off. The values take effect when the system is booted. POST uses these
values to configure the hardware. If the values and the actual hardware do not agree, POST
generates an error message. You must run the Setup Utility to change the BIOS settings from the
default or current configuration.
Accessing the Setup Utility
1. Turn on the monitor and the server.
If the server is already turned on, save your data and exit all open applications, then restart the
server.
During POST, press F10. If you fail to press F10 before POST is completed, you need to restart
the server and repeat this step. The first page displayed is the Main menu. Use the “” or ””
key to move between selections on the menu bar.
Navigating through the Setup Utility
Use the keys listed in the legend bar on the bottom of the Setup screen to access the various menu
and submenu screens of the Setup Utility. Table 1 Setup Utility navigation keys lists these legend keys
