The BIOS setup program is required to configure the blade hardware. This configuration is
necessary for operating the blade and connected peripherals. The configuration data are
stored in the same flash device from which the board boots.
When you are not sure about configuration settings, restore the default values. This option is
provided in case a value has been changed and you wish to reset settings. To restore the default
values, press in Setup.
4.2 Accessing the Blade using the Serial Console
Redirection
The blade firmware provides a serial console redirection feature allowing remote access to the
blade through a terminal connected to the blade's serial interface.
The terminal can be connected to display VGA text information. Terminal keyboard input is
redirected and treated as a normal PC keyboard input. The serial console redirection feature
can be configured via a setup utility.
The BIOS contains online documentation which describes in detail the available menu
options. Therefore, the description in this manual is limited to the main BIOS functions.
 Loading the BIOS default values will affect all set-up items and will reset options
previously altered.
 If you set the default values, the displayed default values takes effect only after the BIOS
setup is saved and closed.
