BIOS Screens |
This appendix describes how to view and or modify the BIOS Setup utility screens in the Sun Blade X6275 server module.
The following topics are covered in this appendix:
The BIOS Setup utility reports system information and can be used to configure the server BIOS settings. The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) has a Setup utility stored in the BIOS flash memory.
The configured 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 default to the original state specified at the factory.
You can access BIOS configuration screens from the following interfaces:
To access BIOS configuration screens and change the system’s parameters:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup utility by pressing the F2 key while the system is performing the power-on self-test (POST). From a remote location, you can press CTRL-E.
When BIOS is started, the main BIOS Setup menu screen is displayed.
2. Highlight the field to be modified using the arrow and Tab keys.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move sequentially back and forth through the menu screens. Fields that can be reconfigured are displayed in color. All other fields are nonconfigurable.
3. Press Enter to select the field.
A dialog box shows the available options.
4. Modify the setup field and close the screen.
5. If you need to modify other setup parameters, use the arrow and Tab keys to navigate to the desired screen and menu item, and then repeat Step 1 through Step 4. Otherwise, go to Step 6.
6. Press and release the right arrow key until the Exit menu screen appears.
7. Follow the instructions on the Exit menu screen to save your changes and exit the Setup utility.
TABLE A-1 contains summary descriptions of the top-level BIOS setup screens.
FIGURE A-1 summarizes the BIOS menu tree. See BIOS Setup Menu Screens for examples of each of these screens.
