Safety Information

Important Safety Instructions

Read all caution and safety statements in this document before
performing any of the instructions.

Warnings

Heed safety instructions: Before working with the server,
whether using this manual or any other resource as a refer­ence, pay close attention to the safety instructions. Adhere to
the assembly instructions in this manual to ensure and maintain
compliance with existing product certifications and approvals.
Use only the described, regulated components specified in this
manual. Use of other products / components will void the UL
listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will
most likely result in non-compliance with product regulations in
the region(s) in which the product is sold.

System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off
the system AC power. To remove power from system, you must
unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the
AC power cord is unplugged before opening the chassis, add­ing, or removing any components.

Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous elec­trical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and com­munication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the
power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and
modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise,
personal injury or equipment damage can result.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can
damage drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that
you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD work­station. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground any
unpainted metal surface on the server when handling parts.

ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully.
They can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board
from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do
not slide board over any surface.

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic
encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jump­ers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with fingertips
or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not
have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to
remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper

SAFETY INFORMATION

XX

with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides
can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent
problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care
to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool used to
remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.

2.1. Safety Measures

WARNING!

Always ask for assistance to move or lift the system.

WARNING!

Only perform troubleshooting as authorized by the product
documentation, or as directed by a service and support team.
Repairs not authorized by warranty may void the warranty
and damage the system.

WARNING!

Always make sure to disconnect the system from the AC elec­trical source. Powering down the system DOES NOT ensure
there is no electrical activity in the system.

WARNING!

Server components and circuit boards are easily damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on servers that are
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid personal injury or dam­age to the server.

WARNING!

Always disconnect the server from the power outlet whenever
you are working inside the server case.

!

!

!

!

!

WARNING!

Wear a grounded wrist strap. If none are available, discharge
any personal static electricity by touching the bare metal
chassis of the server case, or the bare metal body of any
other grounded device.

WARNING!

Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than
dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
danger of static electricity exists.

WARNING!

Do not touch the components on the unless it is necessary to
do so. Do not flex or stress circuit boards.

WARNING!

Leave all replacement components inside their static-proof
packaging until you are ready to use them.

BIOS BIOS SETUP UTILITY

3-1

3.1. BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup utility is provided to perform system configura­tion changes and to display current settings and environment
information.

The BIOS Setup utility stores configuration settings in system
non-volatile storage. Changes affected by BIOS Setup will not
take effect until the system is rebooted. The BIOS Setup Utility
can be accessed during POST by using the <DEL> or <F2>
key.

The following sections describe the look and behavior for plat­form Setup.

Operation

BIOS Setup has the following features:

 The server board BIOS will only be available in English.

 BIOS Setup is functional via console redirection over vari-

ous terminal emulation standards. This may limit some
functionality for compatibility, e.g., usage of colors, some
keys or key sequences, or support of pointing devices.

Setup Page Layout

The setup page layout is sectioned into functional areas. Each
occupies a specific area of the screen and has dedicated func­tionality. The following table lists and describes each functional
area.

BIOS Setup Page Layout

DESCRIPTION

Title Bar

The title bar is located at the top of the screen and dis­plays the title of the form (page) the user is currently
viewing. It may also display navigational information.

Setup Item List

The Setup Item List is a set of controllable and infor­mational items. Each item in the list occupies the left
column of the screen.
A Setup Item may also open a new window with more
options for that functionality on the board.

Item Specific
Help Area

The Item Specific Help area is located on the right side
of the screen and contains help text for the highlighted
Setup Item. Help information may include the meaning
and usage of the item, allowable values, effects of the
options, etc.

BIOS ENTERING BIOS SETUP

3-2

Entering BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup is started by pressing <DEL> or <F2> during boot
time when the OEM logo is displayed.

When Quiet Boot is disabled, the message "press <DEL> or
<F2> to enter setup" will be displayed on the diagnostics
screen.

Keyboard Commands

The bottom right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of
commands that are used to navigate through the Setup utility.
These commands are displayed at all times.

Each Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except
those used for informative purposes, each feature is associated

with a value field. This field contains user-selectable parame­ters. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect by
the password, a menu feature's value may or may not be
changeable. If a value is non-changeable, the feature's value
field is inaccessible and displays as "grayed out."

Keyboard Com­mand Bar

The Keyboard Command Bar is located at the bottom
right of the screen and continuously displays help for
keyboard special keys and navigation keys.

Command

The <Enter> key is used to activate sub-menus
when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or to
display a pick list if a selected option has a value
field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued fea­tures like time and date. If a pick list is dis­played, the <Enter> key will select the currently
highlighted item, undo the pick list, and return
the focus to the parent menu.

<Esc> Exit

The <Esc> key provides a mechanism for back­ing out of any field. When the <Esc> key is
pressed while editing any field or selecting fea­tures of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.
When the <Esc> key is pressed in any sub­menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the
<Esc> key is pressed in any major menu, the
exit confirmation window is displayed and the
user is asked whether changes can be dis­carded. If No is selected and the <Enter> key is
pressed, or if the <Esc> key is pressed, the
user is returned to where he/she was before
<Esc> was pressed, without affecting any exist­ing any settings. If Yes is selected and the
<Enter> key is pressed, setup is exited and the
BIOS returns to the main System Options Menu
screen.
