1 IntroductionMost systems are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run the BIOS Setup when starting the computer unless there is an error message.
The BIOS Setup allows you to configure the system functions and view and change device settings and view environmental information for the platform. When it is supplied, the device is set to factory default settings. Any changes you make take effect as soon as you save the settings and quit the BIOS Setup Utility.
The BIOS Setup interface consists of several screens, called pages. Each page contains information or links to other pages. The first page in Setup displays links for general categories. This links lead to pages containing specific config-uration settings.
The BIOS Setup includes the following feature:
– Console Redirection: The BIOS Setup is functional through console redirection over various terminal emulation standards. This may limit some functionality due to compatibility. For example, colors, some keys or key sequences use and support for pointing devices may be limited.
1.1 Notational conventions

2 BIOS Setup UtilityThis section describes the options available for BIOS Setup. Use Setup to change the default system parameters. You can run BIOS Setup with and without the installed operating system. Setup stores most of the configuration values in battery-backed CMOS; the rest of the configuration is stored in flash memory.
The configuration takes effect when you restart the system. POST uses these values to configure the hardware. If the values and the actual hardware do not match, POST generates an error message (see “Power-ON Self Test (POST) Codes” on page 43). You must then run BIOS Setup to correct the configuration.
Each BIOS Setup Utility menu contains a number of features. Some features are used for informative purposes only, and other features are associated with a value field that the user can configure. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect, a menu feature’s value may be changeable. If a value cannot be changed, the feature’s value field is inaccessible.

BIOS Setup Utility Memory
● Maximum Performance:
– default configuration in the BIOS Setup– allows BIOS to be configured for maximum memory performance– allows 4-way-/2-way-/1-way-interleave– does not support hot-add or hot-replace – allows to allocate ranks to serve as spare on each memory board
When the system does not allow for the desired memory configuration, The BIOS will configure the system memory to the Maximum Performance mode.
● Mirror:
– requires two boards (A and B or C and D) or four memory boards with equal memory capacity on each board
– supports hot-add or hot-replace of memory
I Please note that the Hot Add/Hot Replace operations require corre-sponding support in the OS.
– the data is mirrored from one board to another which provides redun-dancy but at the cost of halving the effective memory size
Configuring:
Ê Boot the server to the System Options Menu and select BIOS Setup Utility.
Ê Select Memory/Configure Memory RAS and Performance menu.
Ê Set Desired Memory Configuration as Mirror (see section “Configure Memory RAS and Performance” on page 17).
Ê Select View Configuration Details and ensure that Configuration Possible option is YES (see figure 9 on page 21).
I If the option displays NO, the user may need to install more memory to meet the requirements for this configuration.
Ê Press [F10] to save changes and exit.
Ê Reboot the server to activate the changes.
I When a DIMM rank or a memory board fails, the system will continue to operate with the backed up information on the mirrored board. The system loses redundancy at this point, and will remain in this non-redundant state until the failing board and/or memory can be

– provides redundancy by writing to three of the memory boards while one is reserved for redundant parity information
– allows for increasing the total amount of system memory by hot-upgrading or hot-swapping the existing boards with larger memory boards, based on the RAID Upgrade Gap set in the Configure Memory RAS and Performance menu.
I Please note that the Hot Add/Hot Replace operations require corre-sponding support in the OS.
Configuring:
Ê Boot the server to the System Options Menu and select BIOS Setup Utility.
Ê Select Memory/Configure Memory RAS and Performance menu.
Ê Set Desired Memory Configuration as RAID (see section “Configure Memory RAS and Performance” on page 17).
Ê Select View Configuration Details and ensure that Configuration Possible option is YES (see figure 9 on page 21).
I If the option displays NO, the user may need to install more memory to meet the requirements for this configuration.
Ê Press [F10] to save changes and exit.
Ê Reboot the server to activate the changes.
I When a DIMM rank or a memory board fails, the system will continue to operate with the remaining three memory boards by recreating the data from the failed board. The system loses redundancy at this point, and will remain in this non-redundant state until the failing board and/or memory can be replaced. To ensure redundancy is continued, hot-replace feature can be used to replace the defective memory and its board while the system is operating.

2.7.2.1 Configuring Memory Sparing
A rank on each memory board can be reserved as a "spare" and can only be used as a backup for another rank on the same memory board. The memory rank that is configured as spare is held in reserve and cannot be used by the operating system. To ensure that any failing rank will fit on the spare rank, the total memory of each memory board is reduced by the largest DIMM rank installed on the board. Hot removal can not be done when in a memory sparing configuration.
When the error rate for a failing rank exceeds the Sparing Threshold set, the contents of that rank are copied to the spare rank. The failing rank is disabled on subsequent system boots.
Ê Boot the server to the System Options Menu and select BIOS Setup Utility.
Ê Select Memory/Configure Memory RAS and Performance menu.
Ê Set Desired Memory Configuration (see section “Configure Memory RAS and Performance” on page 17).
Ê Select View Configuration Details and ensure that Configuration Possible option is YES (see figure 9 on page 21).
I If the option displays NO, the user may need to install more memory to meet the requirements for this configuration.
Ê Verify Sparring option is set to YES (see figure 9 on page 21).
Ê Go back to Configure Memory RAS and Performance and set Sparring Threshold between 1-15 (see figure 8 on page 17).
Ê Go back to Memory and select View and Configure Memory Board n, where (n) is the memory board slot that is to be enabled as the spare.

3 Power-ON Self Test (POST) CodesSwitching ON the system causes POST to run and to pass control to the boot manager. POST checks the drive carriers, boards, processors, memory, keyboard and most installed devices.
After video initialization, the system BIOS begins to display the boot progress on the screen (see section “POST Progress Codes and Messages” on page 45). The SCSI BIOS scan is displayed, followed by the BIOS splash screen.
I It may take three minutes or longer for video to be displayed, depending on the amount of memory installed in the system.
The POST codes/messages are also displayed in parallel on the LocalView LCD (if installed, see Operating Manual), even before the video screen is operable.
The system emits a beep to indicate that POST has been completed.
If the system stops before the POST has been completed, it emits a beep code followed by an error message displayed on the screen to indicate a critical system error that requires immediate attention. You will find a list of the beep codes and related error messages generated by POST in the next section.
Take note of the messages displayed and write down the beep code you hear since this information is useful to your service representative.

The user can check POST error codes in the system event log (SEL) or via ServerView error-/event log.
The table 21 on page 50 describes error codes, the associated error message, and the system handling of the error.

Display Yes The error message will be displayed to the console(s)
View Yes The user must view the error prior to booting
Boot No The system will not boot with this error
