Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to installing the operating system and its
drivers. If changes have been saved in the setup, the next time the blade boots, BIOS will
configure the system according to the setup selections stored. If those values cause the system
boot to fail, reboot and enter setup to get the default values or to change the selections that
caused the failure.
In order to navigate setup, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to highlight items on the menu.
All other navigation possibilities are shown at the bottom of the menu. Additionally, an item-
specific help is displayed to the right of the menu window. It displays help text for the currently
selected field.
The following are the main menu selections:
Use submenus for other selections. Set the required bootable device sequence from the Boot
Menu. Refer to BOOT MENU for more details.

Whenever you select the Exit Saving Changes option to save changes to BIOS setup and exit, do
not power the blade down before BIOS reboots.
