Using the BIOS Setup Utility
NOTE: Most of the features in the BIOS Setup utility are not required in the setup of your
server. The options in this utility are designed to assist with specific server configuration
issues.
The BIOS Setup utility is separated into a series of menu selections designed
to configure specific areas of the system. The primary menus are the File,
System, Storage, and Advanced menus.
The File Menu
The File menu is used for saving and restoring configurations, and exiting the
utility. The following is a list of selections found in this menu with an
explanation of each option:
Save to Floppy creates a backup image of the current system configuration on
an unformatted 1.44-MB diskette in the diskette drive. This process is set up to
archive current configuration settings and to overwrite any data previously
saved on the diskette.
CAUTION: All data on the diskette is overwritten during this process.
Restore from Floppy reads a backup image of the current system
configuration from a 1.44-MB diskette in the diskette drive and stores the
configuration in the system. This option can be used to restore the system to an
archived configuration.
Set Defaults and Exit restores default configuration values for the system.
This option can be used if the system has been incorrectly configured.
Ignore Changes and Exit terminates the setup utility without storing any
changes that have been made during the current BIOS setup session.
Save Changes and Exit stores the current configuration selections.
