Introduction
Introduction
BIOS Setup provides settings for system functions and the hardware configuration for the device. Any changes you make take effect as soon as you save the settings and quit BIOS Setup.
The individual menus in BIOS Setup provide settings for the following areas:
Main:
Advanced:
Security:
Power:
Boot
Exit:
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.

The final digits refer to the number of the mainboard.
With the aid of the mainboard number you can locate the correct technical manual for the mainboard on the "Drivers & Utilities" or "ServerStart" CD/DVD. Alternatively you can also use it to download the corresponding BIOS update file from the Internet (see "Flash-BIOS update", Page 50).

You can use this function if you do not want to boot the system from the drive specified as the first device in the Boot Priority Order in the Boot menu.
► Press the function key F12 .
The Boot Menu is displayed as a popup window on the screen. You can now select the drive from which you wish to boot the operating system. The selection options are the same as the possible settings in the Boot Priority Order in the Boot menu. Your selection is only valid for the current system boot. The settings specified in the Boot Priority Order in the Boot menu will be applied again the next time the system is started.
►Use the 
and 
cursor keys to select which drive you want to use to boot the system on this occasion and press Enter.
►To open BIOS Setup, use the 
and 
cursor keys to select the Setup entry and press Enter to confirm the selection.
If the drive is marked with an "!" symbol then it cannot be selected as a boot drive. You can check why this drive is not available for booting in the BIOS Setup (in the Boot menu).

BIOS Setup with incorrect settings
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 started. The following error message will appear:
Previous boot incomplete - Default configuration used
Pressing the F2 allows you to check and correct the settings in BIOS Setup (see Chapter "Error messages", Page 50). Any incorrect BIOS Setup settings that prevented the system from booting can now be corrected. This will allow the system to start without error again.

System Date/System Time
Displays the current date/time set on the device. The date is shown in the format "mm/dd/yyyy". The time is shown in the format "hours:minutes:seconds". Enter the new date/time in the System Date/System Time fields respectively to change the current date/time settings. Use the tab key to move the cursor between the System Time and System Date fields.
If the settings in the System Time and System Date fields are frequently wrong when you power up the computer this means the lithium battery is not providing power. Replace the lithium battery.
Refer to the mainboard manual for information on how to replace the lithium battery.

Maximum Capacity– Hard disk capacity
Shows the capacity of the hard disk as an LBA value. 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.

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 supports 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 specifies hard disk capacities up to 144 PByte (Petabyte) - approximately 120,000 times the 137 GByte limit.

LBA Mode Control
Sets addressing to use consecutive sector numbers (LBA = Logical Block Addressing).
Enabled If the hard disk supports LBA mode and it has a capacity of more than 528 MByte, then the BIOS uses converted hard disk parameters. This allows the disk’s full capacity to be used.
Disabled The BIOS uses the hard disk parameters and supports a maximum capacity of 528 MBytes.
32 Bit I/O - Bus width for data transfer
This field specifies the bus width for data transfer between the processor and the hard disk controller.

Change The hard disk password protects you against unauthorised access to your hard Password disk drives. Only people who know the hard disk password can boot the operating
system from the hard disk or access data on it. The password must be four to eight characters in length. All alphanumerical characters can be used, but no distinction is made between 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).
Hard Disk Access to the hard disk is also protected by requiring a master password to be Master entered. This is intended for use in situations where the standard password has Password been forgotten or is not known. The master password is normally kept secret and
can be obtained by contacting Fujitsu Siemens Computers customer service. The master password can be deactivated so that access to the hard disk is only possible using the standard password.

Change Password
The hard disk password enables you to prevent unauthorized access to your hard disk drives. Booting the operating system of the hard disk or access to data on the hard disk can only be carried out by people who know the hard disk password. The password must consist of four to eight characters. All alphanumerical characters can be used, and the password is not case
sensitive. When entering the password, the password itself is not displayed. The settings become effective immediately and remain effective regardless of how you end the BIOS Setup later. The status of the hard disk password is displayed as per the current setting.
Hard Disk Master Password
Access to the hard disk is also granted by entering the master password. This is useful, for example, if the standard password has been forgotten or is not known. However, the master password must be kept secret and must be requested from the Fujitsu Siemens Computers Service. The master password can be deactivated so that access to the hard disk is only possible using the standard password.
HD-ID
The hard disk ID number is displayed during POST and when the password is requested.
