58 Intel Server Board SE7501BR2 Product Guide

BIOS Setup

You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present. BIOS Setup stores

most of the configuration values in battery-backed CMOS; the rest of the values are stored in flash

memory. The values take effect when the system is booted. POST uses these values to configure

the hardware. If the values and the actual hardware do not agree, POST generates an error

message.

Record your BIOS Setup settings. If default values ever need restoring (after a CMOS clear, for

example), you must run BIOS Setup again. Your record will make this much easier.

If BIOS Setup Is Inaccessible

If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. To clear

CMOS, either of two methods can be used:

• Press the reset button and hold it down for four seconds or more, and then, while holding the

reset button down, press the power button. Release both buttons at the same time

• Move the Clear CMOS jumper found on the configuration jumper block on the baseboard.

Starting Setup

You can enter and start Setup under several conditions:

• When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test

• When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS” position

(enabled). For instructions on moving the jumper, see Chapter 5, under the heading “Clearing

CMOS with the CMOS Jumper”

In these two conditions, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

• In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other messages

but not the <F2> prompt:

Warning: CMOS checksum invalid

Warning: CMOS time and date not set

In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
