Boot Options menu
The Boot Options menu in the Setup Utility program provides an interface to help you view or change the
server startup options, including the startup sequence and boot priority for various devices. Changes in the
startup options take effect when the server starts.
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to find a boot record. The server
starts from the first boot record that it finds. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks a
disc in the optical drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks a network device. For information
about setting the startup sequence or selecting a startup device, see “Selecting a startup device” on page 52.
Boot Manager menu
The Boot Manager menu in the Setup Utility program lists all the bootable devices installed in your server
and the listed items vary depending on your server configuration. If you select a desired device listed on this
menu, the server will start from the device you select.
You can press F12 when turning on the server and select a temporary startup device from the boot device
selection window. See “Selecting a startup device” on page 52.
Save & Exit menu
After you finish viewing or changing settings in the Setup Utility program, you can choose a desired
action from the Save & Exit menu to save changes, discard changes, or load default values, and exit the
program. Press Enter to select the item on the Save & Exit menu and then select Yes when prompted to
confirm the action. For information about exiting the Setup Utility program, see “Exiting the Setup Utility
