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
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.

INSTALLING HARDWARE SAFETY MEASURES
2-1
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 electrical source. Powering down the system DOES NOT insure the
system is safe for repairs.
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.
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 boards 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
The setup page layout is sectioned into functional areas. Each
occupies a specific area of the screen and has dedicated func-
tionality. The following table lists and describes each functional
area.
Table 3-1: BIOS Setup Page Layout
F
UNCTIONAL AREA 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.
Table 3-2: BIOS Setup: Keyboard Command

EY OPTION DESCRIPTION
<Enter>
Execute
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 multivalued 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 reentered.
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.
