BIOS Setup Configuration software and utilities
5.3.1 Starting BIOS Setup
You can call and use BIOS Setup under different circumstances:
– When you turn on the system, after the POST memory test has been
completed
– When you reboot the system by pressing
[Ctrl] +[Alt]+[Del] in DOS mode
– When you have moved the CMOS clear switch to the ON position (enabled)
(see the section “Configuring the server and components” on page 38)
In the three above-mentioned cases, you will see the following prompt after the
system has booted:
Press [F2] to enter SETUP
Ê Press [F2] to enter BIOS Setup.
I In a fourth case, i.e. if CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see
other prompts but not the [F2] prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this case, BIOS will load the default values into CMOS and attempt to
boot.
When you see the [F2] prompt once more, set anew the System Time
and the System Date with the Main Menu of the BIOS-Setup (see section
“Main Menu” on page 51)!
