Navigating Setup Utility Screens
The BIOS setup utility consists of five primary menus:
Main: Displays the BIOS version and details on processor type, and lets you configure the system
time, date, and language.
Advanced: Lets you configure Option ROMs, configure peripheral devices, clear the event log,
and disable POST error pauses.
Security: Lets you set a password.
System Management: Lets you configure Console Redirection, Quiet Boot, Serial Over LAN, and
Service Partition options. Also displays BMC and HSC firmware revisions.
Exit: Exits the utility with or without saving utilities and allows management of custom settings.
Each menu occupies a single screen and presents a list of menu items. Some menu items are
submenus, while others are settings that you can change from the screen.
Table 8 describes how to navigate between the utility screens and menus.
