About the BIOS Setup utility
The server BIOS has a built-in setup utility that lets you configure several basic
system characteristics. The settings are stored in battery-backed RAM and are
retained even when the power is off.
Enter the BIOS Setup utility by restarting the server, then pressing F2 when
prompted during the startup process. The Main BIOS Setup utility screen
opens. It may not look exactly like the screen shown below.
