- Attention - If the CD-ROM drive contains a startable CD,
you must remove the CD if you want to use a startup sequence that begins with a startable diskette.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot record at startup.
You also can choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or the quick mode.
Select Start Options, then, use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key
to advance through each data field.
The Start Options choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
Advanced Setup: Select Advanced Setup to change values for
advanced hardware features, such as cache control, and PCI configuration.
A warning message displays above the choices on this menu, to alert you that the system might
malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly.
Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
Use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to scroll through each data field
after you select one of the setup options.
The Advanced Setup choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
ACPI Control: Select this choice to enable or disable the advanced configuration
and power-management interface (ACPI) in the BIOS.
You can choose to change the ACPI hardware signature or select an IRQ for ACPI.
ACPI allows the operating system to place some server components into a reduced-power state
during periods of low activity.
You must have a BIOS level that supports ACPI to have this control option.
If ACPI it enabled, you must press and hold the power button to power down the system.
Cache Control: Select this choice to enable or disable the microprocessor cache.
In addition, you can define the microprocessor cache type as write-back (WB) or write-through (WT).
Selecting write-back mode will provide the maximum system performance.
You can also enable or disable video BIOS caching, and define buffers for video and option ROM caching.
PCI Slot/Device Information: Select this choice to view and identify system resources
used by PCI devices.
PCI devices automatically communicate with the server configuration information.
This usually results in automatic configuration of a PCI device. If a conflict does occur, see
'Resolving Configuration Conflicts'.
Use the Up Arrow ( 
) or Down Arrow ( 
) key to highlight the assignment that you
want to change and press Enter.
Use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to select from the list of
available choices.
An asterisk (*) indicates that more than one device shares a slot. After making
changes, you can select:
The server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI devices.
Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI devices that currently do not support
sharing of PCI interrupts (IRQs).
Multiple-function PCI devices use more than one interrupt.
Memory Settings: Select this choice to manually disable or enable a bank of memory.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server can
automatically disable the failing memory bank and continue operating with reduced memory capacity.
If this occurs, you must manually enable the memory bank after the problem is corrected.
Select Memory Settings from the Advanced Setup menu, then use the Up Arrow
( ) or Down Arrow ( ) key to highlight the bank that you want to enable.
Use the Left Arrow (<) or Right Arrow (>) key to select Enable.
MPS Version Control: Select this choice to view and identify the
multiprocessor specification (MPS) level.
Some versions of the IBM OS/2 operating system use 1.1 as the MPS level.
The default value is 1.4. Refer to the documentation that comes with the operating system for
more information.
Error Logs: Select System Error Logs to choose to view either the
POST error log or the system error log.
POST Error Log: Select POST Error Log to view the three most recent
error codes and messages that the system generated during POST.
You can clear the error log by selecting Clear error logs.
System Error Log: Select Error Log to view the system error log.
The system error log contains all the system, error, and warning messages that the system has
generated.
You can use the up and down arrow keys to move between pages in the system error log.
Save Settings: After you make configuration changes, review them to be sure
that they contain the correct information.
If the information is correct, select Save Settings to save the selected changes.
Restore Settings: After you make configuration changes, review them to be sure
that they contain the correct information.
If the information is incorrect, or if you do not want to save these changes, select
Restore Settings to delete the changes and restore the previous settings.
Load Default Settings: If you make configuration changes and then decide
that you want to use default values instead, select Load Default Settings to cancel the
changes and restore the factory settings.
Exit Setup: If you have made any changes, you will be asked if you want
to save the changes or exit without saving the changes.
