APPENDIX B: BIOS Settings
92
If you ever need to restore your BIOS settings, such as after a system board change, a record
of the settings will make the process much easier. You can print this appendix, then record your
custom BIOS settings on the printout. Only settings which can be changed are listed. For a
complete list of viewable BIOS settings, run the BIOS Setup utility.
To view all BIOS settings:
1 Restart your server
2 Press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears during startup. The BIOS Setup utility
opens.
3 Select menus and submenus to display setting information.
Caution
Setting the wrong values in the Advanced Menu may cause the server to
malfunction.
