2.4 BIOS Setup Utility
The Basic Input Output System (BIOS) Setup utility is used to configure BIOS
settings. When the computer is powered on, it is configured with the values stored
in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot time.
To change the system parameters, enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key
when prompted as the system is booting up.
To access the BIOS Setup utility remotely, you can log in by means of an SSH client.
Refer to the Sun Fire V20z Server Management Guide,
817-5249-xx , for more information
about managing the server remotely.
Note – If you are using a USB keyboard, the F2 key may not work properly when
entering BIOS Setup unless the F-Lock key is on.
From the Main setup screen, you can access other setup screens, such as Security and
Power. The tables in the following sections describe each parameter setting in the
Setup Utility.
To navigate between items in a menu:
■ Use the up and down arrow keys to move among the settings in each menu.
■ Use the left and right arrow keys to change the options for each setting.
Items that include submenus begin with a triangle icon. To access a submenu, select
the item so that it is highlighted and press Enter.
