Load BIOS Optimal Default Settings


Caution

Caution - This procedure resets the BIOS settings to the default values, and overwrites any previously customized settings. To retain customized settings, review each menu and make note of the customized values before loading the default values.


The BIOS Setup Utility contains an option to load the optimal BIOS settings for the server. Perform this procedure on a newly installed server to ensure that the BIOS is set to the optimal default values.

Before You Begin

  1. Power on the server.

    POST message appears on the video (KVM or RKVM) console.

  2. Watch the messages, and, when prompted, press F2 to access the BIOS Setup Utility.

    The BIOS Setup Utility main screen appears.

  3. To ensure that the factory defaults are set, press F9.
  4. To save the changes, and exit the BIOS Setup Utility, press F10.
