Verification of BIOS Factory Defaults

In the BIOS Setup Utility, you can set optimal defaults, as well as view and edit BIOS settings as needed. Any changes you make in the BIOS Setup Utility (by pressing F2) are permanent until the next time you change them.

In addition to using the F2 key to view or edit the system's BIOS settings, you can use F8 during the BIOS start-up to specify a temporary boot device. If you use F8 to set a temporary boot device, this change is only in effect for the current system boot. The permanent boot device specified through F2 will be in effect after booting from the temporary boot device.

Before You Begin

• The server is equipped with a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD).

• The HDD or SSD is properly installed in the server. For details, see the Sun Server X2-4 Service Manual.

• A console connection is established to the server. For details, see Table A-1.
