Introduction
Introduction
BIOS Setup provides settings for system functions and the hardware co n fig uration for the device.
Any changes you make take effect as soon as you save t he settings and quit BIOS Setup.
The individual menus in BIOS Setup p rovide settings for the following areas:

Advanced:
Security:
Power:

System functions
Advanced system configuration
Security functions
Energy saving function
Configuration of the start-up sequence
Save and quit
The individual menus and setting options are described in alphabetical
order in the following chapters.
The setting options depend on the hardware configuration of your device.
Some menus and certain settings may therefore not be available in BIOS Setup on your
device, or the menus may be in a different place, depending on the BIOS revision.

BIOS Setup with incorrect settings
Systemboot
If an incorrect setting in BIOS Setup prevents the system booting and the system cannot
be booted three times in a row, the default BIOS Setup settings will be applied once,
the next time the system is booted. The following error message will appear:

Maximum Capacity– Hard disk capa city
HarddiskparametersHarddiskcapacity
Shows the capacity of the hard disk as an LBA va lue. The LBA value is the capacity calculated by the
BIOS based on the maximum possible number of sectors reported by the hard disk. IDE and BIOS
restrict the arrangement of hard disks into cylinders, heads and sectors through maximum permissible
values. The hard disk permits more cylinders but fewer heads than the BIOS. A combination of IDE
and BIOS restrictions leads to a maximum addressable storage area of 528 MByte.
Not for optical storage media.
The following table lists the maximum permissible values and the resulting
maximum usable memory capacities.
BIOS
Max. sectors per
head (at 512 Byte)
Max. heads per
cylinder
Max. cylinders 1024 65535 1024 65535
Capacity 8.4 GByte 137 GByte
LBA Translation converts the physical arrangement of a hard disk into cylinders, heads
and sectors so that the logical values generated lie within the above BIOS limitations. This
means that a hard disk capacity of over 528 MByte can be used. The operating system
and application programmes make use of these logical hard disk values. Hard disks of over
528 MByte are configured and operated using LBA mode. If the hard disk sup ports the LBA
mode, then the full memory capacity of the hard disk can be used.
The BIOS also supports 48-bit addressing for hard disks. This industry standard sp eci fies hard disk
capacities up to 144 PByte (Petabyte) - approximately 120,000 times the 137 GByte limit.

If the hard disk supports LBA mode and it has a capacity of more than 528 MByte,

capacity to be used.

The hard disk does not support a password. You cannot assign a password to

No password has been assigned to this hard disk.
A password has just been assigned to the hard disk.
The maximum number of permissible attempts at entering the password has been

DCO (Device Con figu ration Overlays) is blocked. Switch off the syste m and retry.
Restart the system to change the security status of the hard disk. Open BIOS Setup
during system boot and change the desired settings.
The hard disk password protects you against unauthorised access to your hard
disk drives. Only people w ho know the hard disk password can boot the operating
system from the hard disk or access data on it. The password m ust be four to eight
characters in length. All alphanume rical characters can be used, but no distinction
is made be tween upper-case and lower-case. Passwords are not displayed
during entry. The settings become effective immediately and will remain effective,
regardless of the method used to exit BIOS Setup later. The status of the hard disk
password will be displayed according to the current settings (Installed/Not Installed).
Access to the hard disk is also protected by requiring a master password to be
entered. This is intended for use in situations where the standard password has
been forgotten or is not known. The master password is normally kept secret and
can be obtained by contact ing Fujitsu Technology Solutions customer service. The
master password can be deactivated so that access to the hard disk is only possible
using the standard password.

Flash-BIOS update
To perform a Flash-BIOS update you must first download the relevant file from the Internet.
Flash-BIOSupdateBIOSupdateUpdate
Visit http://ts.fujitsu.com and select the desired language (English or German), then go to the
"Drivers/Manuals" section. Simply click on "Download/Accessories/Mainboards" to go to the
relevant web page and check if a Flash-BIOS update is available for your computer.
Flash-BIOSupdate
You need to save the BIOS update file to a DOS Boot diskette . This diskette
is referred to as the Flash-BIOS Diskette.
Flash-BIOSDiskette
► Note down the settings in the BIOS Setup.
Instead of using a diskette, it is possible to perform a BIOS Update using a DOS Boot
memory stick connected to a USB port or using the Windows program "DeskFlash".
The BIOS is stored in flash memory. The BIOS Setup in the flash memory will be
corrupted if any errors occur during the Flash-BIOS update. You can then only
restore BIOS Setup using Flash Memory Recovery Mode.Ifthisisnotpossible,
replace the Flash Memory or contact Customer Services.
A26361-D2840-Z220-1-7619, edition 1 35
Flash-BIOS update
A Flash-BIOS update should not normally affect the BIOS Setup settings. If some
settings are modified by the Flash-BIOS update, then these must be reconfigured.
The system must not be switched off or reset while program ming is in progress.
Never interrupt the Flash-BIOS update. The BIOS update will otherwise be corrupted.
► Boot the system with the Flash-BIOS diskette inserted.
The BIOFLASH.EXE utility will initially read in the BIOS update file.
Programming will start once the flash memory type has been automatically recognised. The
old BIOS Setup will be deleted and overwritten with the contents of the BIOS Update file.
On-screen messages during programming may look like this:
WARNING:
SYSTEM MUST NOT BE SWITCHED OFF OR RESET WHILE FLASH PROGRAMMING
IS IN PROCESS. OTHERWISE THE SYSTEM BIOS WILL BE DESTROYED.
