network ports on motherboard information. You can also view the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and

Trusted Cryptographic Module (TCM) settings.

Depending on your specific system configuration, additional setup items may be displayed. However,

some BIOS setup options may be shown on the BIOS Setup screen that are not accessible in Server

Administrator.

For 12G systems, the configurable BIOS features are grouped as specific categories. The categories

include System Information, Memory Settings, System Profile Settings, Unified Extensible Firmware

Interface (UEFI) Boot Settings, Network Interface Controller cards, One-Time Boot, and Slot Disablement.

For example, on the 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 theBIOS Setup - System Security page. You must enter the

password to enable and modify the BIOS settings. Else, the BIOS settings appear in a read-only mode.

You must 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.

Properties

Subtab: Fan Probes

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.

Alert Management

Subtabs: Alert Actions | SNMP Traps

Under the Alert Management tab, you can:

• 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.

• View current SNMP trap alert thresholds and set the alert threshold levels for fans. The selected traps

are triggered if the system generates a corresponding event at the selected severity level.
