3.1 The Setup Program
The setup program is used to configure system options on ISA and EISA

options, video subsystem, and system memory. These parameters are
controlled by system BIOS and, hence, need to be modified before the operating
system boots.

1. Turn on the server and watch the screen.
The BIOS level appears.
2. When the message
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
appears, press F2.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to view or change the configuration.
Please see the following sections for detailed instructions on this process.
After completion of these operations:
1. Select Exit menu from the menu bar.
Dont forget to select Saves changes and exit.
The setup program consists of three panels which are selectable from the menu
bar:
