Boot Sequence Screen
The Boot Sequence screen options determine the order in which the system looks for the files that it needs to load during system startup. Available options
include the diskette drive, CD-ROM drive, network, and hard drive. You can enable or disable a device by selecting it and pressing the spacebar. To change the
order in which devices are searched, use the <+> and <–> keys.
Hard-Disk Drive Sequence Screen
The Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen options determine the order in which the system searches the hard drives for the files that it needs to load during
system startup. The choices depend on the particular hard drives installed in your system. You can enable or disable a device by selecting it and pressing the
spacebar. To change the order in which devices are searched, use the <+> and <–> keys.
Integrated Devices Screen
This screen is used to configure the following devices:
l Embedded RAID Controller — If the system has RAID, Channel A and Channel B operate independently. Channel A and Channel B can be set to RAID
or SCSI. If the system is SCSI only, the Embedded RAID Controller field changes to Primary SCSI Controller. Channel A and Channel B turn the
respective SCSI controller on or off. Selecting On (the default setting) enables the integrated PCI SCSI controller and scans the associated ROM. For the
system to start from a drive attached to the integrated SCSI controller, the drive must be enabled. Selecting Off causes the BIOS to mask the presence
of a device.
l Secondary SCSI Controller — Enables or disables the secondary SCSI controller.
l IDE CD-ROM Controller — Enables or disables the system's IDE CD-ROM interface.
l Diskette Controller — Enables or disables the system's diskette drive controller. When Auto (default) is selected, the system turns off the controller
when necessary to accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion slot.
l USB Controller — Enables or disables the system's USB ports. Disabling the USB ports makes system resources available for other devices.
l BIOS USB Support -— Enables BIOS support for a USB keyboard or mouse.
l Embedded 10/100 NIC— Enables or disables the system's two integrated NICs. Options are Enabled without PXE, Enabled with PXE, and Disabled.
PXE support allows the system to boot from the network. Changes take effect after system reboot.
l MAC Address — Displays the MAC address for the 10/100 NIC that is used by the corresponding integrated NIC. This field has no user-selectable
settings.
l Embedded 10/100/1000 NIC— Enables or disables the system's two integrated NICs. Options are Enabled without PXE, Enabled with PXE, and
Disabled. PXE support allows the system to boot from the network. Changes take effect after system reboot.
l MAC Address — Displays the address of the MAC address for the 10/100/1000 NIC that is used by the corresponding integrated NIC. This field has no
user-selectable settings.
l Mouse Controller — Enables or disables the system's mouse controller. Disabling the mouse controller allows an expansion card to use IRQ12.
l Serial Port 1, Serial Port 2 — Configures the system's integrated serial ports. The options can be set to Auto (the default) to automatically configure a
port, to a particular designation, or to Off to disable the port.
If you set a serial port to Auto and add an expansion card with a port configured to the same designation, the system automatically remaps the
integrated port to the next available port designation that shares the same IRQ setting.
l Parallel Port — Configures the system's integrated parallel port.
l Parallel Port Mode — Controls whether the system's integrated parallel port acts as an AT-compatible (unidirectional) or PS/2-compatible (bidirectional)
port. To determine the correct mode to use, see the documentation that came with the peripheral device connected to the serial port.
l Speaker — Toggles the integrated speaker On (the default) or Off. A change to this option takes effect immediately (rebooting the system is not
required).
Embedded Server Management Screen
You can set the following features through the Embedded Server Management screen:
l Fan Speed — Sets the fan speed to Full Speed or Normal Speed.
l Front Panel LCD Options — Controls the type of information displayed on the front-panel LCD. Options are None, Default, or User-Defined String.
l User String — Allows the user to enter a five-character string in Line 1 and a sixteen-character string in Line 2.
System Security Screen
You can set the following security features through the System Security screen:
l System Password — Displays the current status of your system's password security feature and allows you to assign and verify a new system
password.
l Setup Password — Allows you to restrict access to the System Setup program in the same way that you restrict access to your system with the system
password feature.
NOTE: See " Using the System Password Feature " for instructions on assigning a system password and using or changing an existing system
password. See " Disabling a Forgotten Password " for instructions on disabling a forgotten system password.
NOTE: See " Using the Setup Password Feature " for instructions on assigning a setup password and using or changing an existing setup
password. See " Disabling a Forgotten Password " for instructions on disabling a forgotten setup password.
