BIOS Setup Utilities 3 BIOS Setup Utilities The BIOS Setup utility is a text-based utility that allows the user to configure the system and view current settings and environment information for the platform devices. The Setup utility controls the platform's built-in devices, the boot manager, and error manager. The BIOS Setup interface consists of a number of pages or screens. Each page contains information or links to other pages. The advanced tab in Setup displays a list of general categories as links.
BIOS Setup Utilities Table 7. BIOS Setup Page Layout Functional Area Title (Tab) Bar Description The Title Bar is located at the top of the screen and displays “Tabs” with the titles of the top-level pages, or screens that can be selected. Using the left and right arrow keys moves from page to page through the Tabs. When there are more Tabs than can be displayed on the Title (Tab) Bar, they will scroll off to the left or right of the screen and temporarily disappear from the visible Title Bar.
BIOS Setup Utilities / NOTE With a USB keyboard, it is important to wait until the BIOS “discovers” the keyboard and beeps – until the USB Controller has been initialized and the USB keyboard activated, key presses will not be read by the system. When the Setup Utility is entered, the Main screen is displayed initially. However, serious errors cause the system to display the Error Manager screen instead of the Main screen. It is also possible to cause a boot directly to Setup using an IPMI 2.
BIOS Setup Utilities - Key Option Change Value Description The minus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. + Change Value The plus key on the keypad is used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list.
BIOS Setup Utilities The Help Text entry is the actual text which appears on the screen to accompany the item when the item is the one in focus (active on the screen). The Comments entry provides additional information where it may be helpful. This information does not appear on the BIOS Setup screens. Information enclosed in angular brackets (< >) in the screen shots identifies text that can vary, depending on the option(s) installed.

System Acoustic and Performance Configuration Screen Field Descriptions: 1.
BIOS Setup Utilities Comments: The Thermal Throttling Mode chosen reflects whether the DIMMs have Temperature Sensors (TSOD), and whether the chassis is an Intel® chassis for which thermal data are available. Note that this is for thermal throttling only, independent of any controls imposed for the purpose of power limiting. DCLTT is the expected mode for a board in an Intel® chassis with inlet and outlet air temperature sensors and TSOD.
BIOS Setup Utilities Comments: This option allows the user to choose a Fan Profile that is optimized for maximizing performance or for minimizing acoustic noise. When Performance is selected, the thermal conditions in the system are controlled by raising fan speed when necessary to raise cooling performance. This provides cooling without impacting system performance, but may impact system acoustic performance – fans running faster are typically louder.
BIOS Setup Utilities Quiet Fan Idle Mode does not conflict with Fan PWM Offset (above) – they work in concert, with Fan PWM Offset applied to fans in Quiet Fan Idle Mode just as when the fans are operating in “normal mode”. A Fan PWM Offset of zero is necessary for fans to actually stop turning. Security Screen (Tab) The Security screen allows the user to enable and set the Administrator and User passwords and to lock out the front panel buttons so they cannot be used.

BIOS Setup Utilities Comments: The User password is available only if the Administrator Password has been installed. This option protects Setup settings as well as boot choices. The User Password only allows limited access to the Setup options, and no choice of boot devices.

Note: [Enabled] must be selected for the Assert NMI on PERR setup option to be visible.
BIOS Setup Utilities Comments: This option controls whether the system will be reset when the “Catastrophic Error” CATERR# signal is held asserted, rather than just pulsed to generate an SMI. This indicates that the processor has encountered a fatal hardware error. / NOTE If “Reset on CATERR” is Disabled, this can result in a system hang for certain error conditions, possibly with the system unable to update the System Status LED or log an error to the SEL before hanging. 4.
BIOS Setup Utilities When this setting is changed in Setup, the new setting will be sent to the BMC. However, the BMC maintains (“owns”) this Power Restore Policy setting, and it can be changed independently with an IPMI command to the BMC. BIOS gets this setting from the BMC early in POST, and also for the Setup Server Management screen. 6. Power Restore Delay Option Values: Disabled Auto Fixed Help Text: Allows a delay in powering up after a power failure, to reduce peak power requirements.
BIOS Setup Utilities Comments: When the power restore policy is Power On or Last State, and the Power Restore Delay selection is Fixed, this field allows for specifying how long in seconds that fixed delay will be. When the Power Restore Delay is Disabled or Auto, this field will be grayed out and unavailable. The Power Restore Delay Value setting is maintained by BIOS. This setting does not take effect until a reboot is done.
