RX600 S4 - BIOS Setup Utility Draft Version 5

1 IntroductionBIOS setup provides settings for system functions and the hardware configu-ration for your system. 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 – System functions

● Advanced – Advanced system configuration

● Security – Security functions

● Power – Power management functions

● Server – Server management

● Boot – Configuration of the start-up sequence

● Exit – Save and quit

The setting options depend on the hardware configuration of your system. Menus or certain setting options may therefore not be available in your system's BIOS setup, or the menus may be in a different place, depending on the BIOS revision.

You should only disable a CPU if it has reported an internal error. The error is recorded in the system event log, which you can view with the SCU (Server Configuration Utility) or the RemoteView or ServerView programs.

EnabledThe CPU can be used.

Irrespective of the number of installed CPUs, the statuses of all possible CPUs are always displayed. In the case of CPUs which are not installed, the status display is grayed out. If only one CPU is installed, it is used at system startup regardless of its status. Even if none of the installed CPUs is Enabled, the first CPU is used.

7.2 Memory Status

DIMM #specifies the usage of the memory modules.

Failed As long as at least one error-free bank is available, the memory module is no longer used because a non-correctable error or too many correctable errors have occured.

Once you have replaced a defective memory module, you must reset this parameter to Enabled. As long as the module status is Failed, an entry is automatically written to the system event log each time the system is started.

DisabledThe memory module is not used.

EnabledIf the bank is fitted, the memory module is used.

I (*) in the parameters below indicates that the setting must be the same on both the terminal and the server.

Baud Rate (*)

specifies the transfer rate used for communication with the terminal.

Protocol (*)

specifies the transfer protocol used for communication with the terminal.

Flow Control (*)

specifies how transfer via the port is controlled.

None No transfer control.

XON/XOFFThe transfer control is carried out by software.

CTS/RTSThe transfer control is carried out by hardware. This mode must be supported by the cable.


Server menu IPMI

iRMC Time Syncspecifies whether the internal time of the iRMC is calibrated with the system time during each system start-up (Enabled) or not* (Disabled).

* Exception: The clock in the iRMC reports an invalid time.

I Because the system clock and the clock in the iRMC operate independently of each other, a time calibration at regular intervals is necessary. In addition, the clocks must be calibrated again on leap days and when changing over to/from summer time. This task is normally carried out by ServerView.

Clear System Event Logspecifies whether the System Event Log is to be cleared during the next system start-up (Enabled) or not (Disabled).

Event Log Full Modespecifies whether the system event log can be overwritten or not.

OverwriteIf the system event log is full, the oldest entries are overwritten by new entries each time.

MaintainIf the system event log is full, no more entries are written to it. The system event log must be deleted so that the system can create a new system event log.

Date Format to showspecifies the display format of the date.

Date Separatorspecifies the separator character in the display of the date.

System Event Log / System Event Log (list mode)opens the System Event Log Browser. Here all events and errors that occured in the system are displayed. You can also display the information in a list mode.

Realtime Sensor Dataopens a window in which the values of different sensors are displayed.


Server menu IPMI

LAN Settingscalls a submenu, in which you can make the following LAN settings for iRMC.

Service LAN Portspecifies the LAN port which the iRMC can use. The iRMC and the onboard LAN can share the LAN port (LAN #), or the iRMC can use a LAN port of its own (Service). The Service LAN Port is indicated by a screwdriver icon.

DHCPspecifies whether the DHCP support for the iRMC is switched on (Enabled) or switched off (Disabled). The iRMC can automatically have itself assigned an IP address from a DHCP server in the network via the DHCP network protocol. A manual entry under Local IP Address is then no longer required.

Local IP Addressspecifies the IP address of the system LAN board.

Subnet Maskspecifies the subnet mask of the system LAN board.

Gateway Addressspecifies the gateway address of the system LAN board.

IPMI Statusopens a window in which the current IPMI state is displayed.
