Table -2 Setup Utility Primary Menus
Menu Function
Main Use this menu to:
• Set system time and date
• View BIOS version
• View BIOS build date
• View processor type
• View processor speed
• View system memory size
• View system serial number
• View MAC address for the embedded NIC
Advanced Use this menu to:
• Enable or disable hardware prefetcher.
• Enable or disable Cache Line prefetch.
• Enable or disable the support of hyper-threading technology.
• Disable SATA/IDE configuration or configure IDE/SATA to Compatible or Enhanced mode. When the
system is in Enhanced mode, you can configure the SATA as IDE, RAID, or AHCI. When the system is in
compatible mode, you can configure the IDE channels as SATA only, PATA as primary and SATA
secondary, SATA as primary and PATA as secondary, or PATA only.
NOTE: When the SATA/IDE configuration is set to Compatible mode (4 drive mode), only one SATA
drive, which acts as the Primary master, appears in the system. For example, if you set the legacy IDE
channels to SATA PRI, PATA Sec in the IDE configuration of the Setup Utility, and install two SATA drives,
one IDE hard drive, and one CD ROM drive, you will see the following:
• Primary IDE Master: [Hard Disk]
• Primary IDE Slave: [Not Detected]
• SEC IDE Master: [Hard Disk]
• SEC IDE Slave: [ATAPI CDROM]
The secondary IDE master has the IDE hard drive. There is no Primary IDE slave.
• Configure a superior device such as serial com1, serial com2, or parallel port.
• View CPU and ambient temperature.
• View CPU and chassis fan speed (RPMs).
• Enable or disable temperature display via BMC.
• View IPMI system event logging.
• Clear IPMI system event logging.
• Set IP address and subnet mask for remote access.
• Enable or disable COM1 port muxed to the remote management card.
• Enable or disable the remote management card virtual floppy,
• Enable or disable Serial over LAN (SOL) support.
NOTE: When COM1 is selected, the mux to the remote management card, you cannot use COM1 as the
BIOS serial console redirection. Use COM2 as the serial console redirection if COM1 is enabled for
remote management card muxing.
NOTE: When Serial Over LAN (SOL) is enabled, it uses virtual com3 to send data.
NOTE: All the functions above are applicable if a remote management card is installed in the server.
NOTE: The IPMI configuration menu item is not displayed on the Advanced screen if no remote
management card is inserted in the server. Configure console redirection settings to allow the system to be
displayed on a remote terminal for online server management. You can configure the baud rate from
9600 to 115200.
• Enable/disable USB legacy support. When legacy USB support is enabled, you can select either Hispeed
or Fullspeed under USB 2.0 Controller Mode if the USB 2.0 Controller is enabled.
