Server Node Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) has a Setup Utility stored in the BIOS flash memory.
The Setup Utility reports system information and can be used to configure the BIOS settings.
The configurable data is provided with context-sensitive help and is stored in the system's
battery-backed CMOS RAM. If the configuration stored in the CMOS RAM is invalid, the
BIOS settings return to their default optimal values.
Note - The BIOS menus shown in this chapter are examples. The BIOS version numbers, menu
information, and menu selections are subject to change over the life of the product. You should
not change the factory settings unless prompted to do so by Oracle Service personnel.

be if requested to do so by Oracle Service.
