Executive summary
The 15
th
generation (15G) of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers provides a System Setup utility to help manage
different settings and features of your server without booting to the operating system (OS). Using System
Setup, you can configure the System BIOS settings, iDRAC settings, and Device Settings of your server. This
technical white paper provides an overview of the usage of System BIOS settings.
There are two user interfaces for System Setup—Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Text User Interface
(TUI). By default, the standard GUI browser is enabled. In this mode, you can use a mouse device to help
select settings and navigate through different pages.
Note: The use of a mouse device is optional in case of GUI.
It is assumed that the reader of this technical white paper has prior working knowledge of system
management applications and is familiar with some of the commonly used technologies and acronyms. A list
of frequently used Acronyms is also given on the previous page.
Screen shots and architecture diagrams are used to reduce the reading and comprehension on the part of
audience. Tabulated data is aimed at helping you quickly understand the features and execute your business-
critical functions with less effort.
