Chapter 5 Operations after OS Installation
5.3.2 How to Recover the BIOS Information
If the information configured with the BIOS setup utility was deleted due to a drain of the built-in server
battery, etc., restore the BIOS information according to the following procedures.
Do not turn off the server during a program run.
Before starting up the system by inserting the "ServerStart CD-ROM" or "Server Management Tools"
disk, check to see that the "OS Boot Monitoring" function of ServerView is disabled (default setting).
If you start up the system while the "OS Boot Monitoring" function remains effective, the operation of
the server may become unpredictable at such times as an abrupt power interruption or restart.
If the server is operated with the "OS Boot Monitoring" function enable, enable the function again
before resuming operation. For details of ServerView, refer to "ServerView User's Guide".
1 Turn on the server and insert the "Server Management Tools" disk into the
floppy disk drive.
2 When the DOS prompt window appears, enter the following command and
press the [Enter] key.
A:\SMTOOL\>biosrest.bat
3 If the BIOS information is restored correctly, the following message appears.
4 The BIOS information will be enabled after the next system restart. Restart the
server.
Perform Step 1 to display the DOS prompt window. The restoration procedure has been
completed. The server can now be turned off safely.
Success!
