Setup Utility program interface
This topic provides general information about the menus and items in the Setup Utility program.
Depending on the BIOS version of your server, some menu or item information might differ slightly from
the information in this topic.
Notes:
• The default settings already are optimized for you. Use the default value for any item you are not familiar
with. Do not change the value of unfamiliar items to avoid unexpected problems. If you consider
changing the server conguration, proceed with extreme caution. Setting the conguration incorrectly
might cause unexpected results. If you cannot turn on the server because of incorrect BIOS settings,
use the Clear CMOS jumper to restore the BIOS settings to the factory default settings. See “System
board jumpers and switches” on page 42
.
• If you have changed any hardware in the server, you might need to reash the BIOS, the BMC rmware,
and the FRU/Sensor Data Records (SDR).
The Setup Utility program main interface consists of the following menus:
• “Main menu” on page 52
• “Advanced menu” on page 52
• “Security menu” on page 53
• “Server Management menu” on page 53
• “Boot Options menu” on page 54
• “Boot Manager menu” on page 54

Lenovo provides the BIOS update utility on the Lenovo Support Web site. You can download the BIOS
update utility to update the BIOS if the newer BIOS version specically solves a problem you have. See
“Updating or recovering the BIOS” on page 58.
If the power to your server is interrupted while the BIOS is being updated and your server cannot start
correctly, use the BIOS recovery switch to recover from a BIOS update failure. See “System board jumpers
and switches” on page 42.
Main menu
After entering the Setup Utility program, you can see the Main menu, which lists basic information about
the BIOS, microprocessor type, microprocessor speed and core numbers, total memory size, and system
date and time.
To set the system date and time on the Main menu, see “Setting the system date and time” on page 54
.
Advanced menu
You can view or change various server component settings on the Advanced menu in the Setup Utility
program. The Advanced menu contains various conguration submenus and items. On each submenu,
press Enter to show selectable options and select a desired option by using the up and down arrow
keys or type desired values from the keyboard. Some items are displayed on the menu only if the server
supports the corresponding features.
