Setup Program
Using the Setup Program
The built-in Setup program is used for system board configuration.
The configuration information is stored in the nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM). In most cases, the server
operates using the default settings, and you need to change the
settings only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or
change device function (for example, defining diskette drive types).
Review this section and the information that came with the device
before making changes. Also, record the current settings (see
“Recording and Restoring Default Settings” on page 283) before
making any changes.
Changing Settings
You can advance through the screens by pressing the Page Up
(PgUp) or Page Down (PgDn) key. Use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down
Arrow (↓) key to advance through the items on the screen. Change
selections by first advancing to the item that you want to change;
then, use the plus key (+) or minus key (−) to make the change.
Online Help information is available on the right side of the screen
for each selection. To access menu-bar selections within the Setup
program, use the Right Arrow (→) or Left Arrow (←) key.
The Setup program consists of the following menu bar selections:
Main: Use the Main selection to set the System Time and Date.
This menu also allows you to view or change configuration settings
for diskette drives, memory, video, and cache.
Advanced: The Advanced selection allows you to enable boot
(startup) options, to set up integrated peripherals, and to enable the
Plug and Play O/S (operating system)feature.
Attention: Be sure to set the correct values for your server.
Otherwise, your server might not operate properly.
