For information about the Ethernet controller, see “Configuring the Gigabit
Ethernet controller” on page 118.
Using the Setup Utility program
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides the interface between
the operating system and platform firmware and controls platform initialization.
These functions are analogous to those provided in the BIOS on non-UEFI
compliant computers. Use the UEFI Setup Utility program to
v View configuration information
v View and change assignments for devices and I/O ports
v Set the date and time
v Set the startup characteristics of the server and the order of startup devices
v Set and change settings for advanced hardware features
v View, set, and change settings for power-management features
v View and clear error logs
v Change interrupt request (IRQ) settings
v Resolve configuration conflicts
Starting the Setup Utility program
Complete the following steps to start the UEFI Setup Utility program:
1. Turn on the server.
Note:
Approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the server is connected to ac power,
the power-control button becomes active.
2. When the prompt Press F1 for Setup appears, press F1. If you have set both a
power-on password and an administrator password, you must type the
administrator password to access the full UEFI Setup Utility menu. If you do not
type the administrator password, a limited UEFI Setup Utility menu is available.
3. Select settings to view or change.
Setup Utility menu choices
The following choices are on the UEFI Setup Utility main menu (UEFI was formerly
called BIOS). Depending on the version of the firmware, some menu choices might
differ slightly from these descriptions.
v System Information
Select this choice to view information about the server. When you make changes
through other options in the UEFI Setup Utility program, some of those changes
are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the
system information. This choice is on the full UEFI Setup utility menu only.
– System Summary
Select this choice to view configuration information, including the ID, speed,
and cache size of the microprocessors, machine type and model of the server,
the serial number, the system UUID, and the amount of installed memory.
When you make configuration changes through other options in the UEFI
Setup Utility program, the changes are reflected in the system summary; you
cannot change settings directly in the system summary.
