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.
NOTICE: 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.
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-hand 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.
