3 BIOS Setup

This chapter introduces how to congure BIOS. All operations described in this

section are only limited to operators or administrators with system maintenance

qualication.

BIOS is a basic input and output system. The system parameters and hardware

parameters can be adjusted through special setup procedure. BIOS has a great

impact on the system booting and running, setting parameters improperly may cause conicts among hardware resources, or degrade the system running performance. Hence understanding the BIOS setup is signicant to the conguration of your server. If no especial requirement, you are suggested to use the default value and

not alter the parameters arbitrarily.

1. Before changing the BIOS setup, please record the corresponding original setup.
