Starting up by the CD-ROM
To start up the server from the CD-ROM, proceed as follows:
1 Make sure that no floppy disk is placed in the floppy disk
drive.
2 Switch on the power/sleep button.
3 Immediately after switching on the power/sleep button, press
the eject button of the CD-ROM drive unit and place the start
up CD-ROM in the drive.
NOTE: The CD-ROM can be ejected from the CD-ROM drive
unit only when the system is on. To start up the server from
the CD-ROM drive unit, it is required to set the startup CD-
ROM in the drive immediately after the power button is turned
on.
If the startup CD-ROM is placed in the drive too late, restart
the server by simultaneously pressing the following keys:
++.
Once the startup CD-ROM is recognized, the hard disk drive
is disabled from starting up the server, even if the CD-ROM is
ejected.
BIOS setup
Initial system setting on shipment can be changed by the BIOS
setup menu. The BIOS setup can be performed regardless of pres-
ence or absence of the operating system. Values entered by the
BIOS setup are written in the CMOS and the flash memory, and
reset values come into effect when the server is restarted. Those
values are used as the reference for execution of the POST.
If the entered values and actual hardware don’t correspond to each
other, an error message appears after the POST is complete. If this
error occurs, change the setting by executing setup operation.
