33 Using the System Setup Program Start Menu The system employs the latest AMI Core BIOS, which is stored in Flash memory. The Flash memory supports the Plug and Play specification, and contains a BIOS Setup program, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine, and the PCI auto-configuration utility. This system board supports system BIOS shadowing, enabling the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM. Configure items such as: Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals Password protection from unauthorized use Power management features This Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions: When changing the system configuration When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup utility When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup NOTE: Only items in brackets [ ] can be modified. Items that are not in brackets are display only. Using the System Setup Program 33

34 System Setup Options at Boot You can initiate Setup by pressing <F2> during POST. Console Redirection The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems on a system, which has not successfully booted the operating system. The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console. The BIOS Console is a Flash ROM-resident utility that redirects input and output over a serial or modem connection. The BIOS supports console redirection to a serial port. If serial port based headless system support is provided by the system, the system must provide support for redirection of all BIOS driven console I/O to the serial port. The driver for the serial console must be capable of supporting the functionality documented in the ANSI Terminal Definition. 34 Using the System Setup Program

47 Installing System Components Safety Instructions WARNING: Working on systems that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. CAUTION: System components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharge of static electricity. CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product. To avoid injury to yourself or damage to your system, follow these guidelines: Always disconnect the system from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the system case. If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the system case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the system case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance. Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board. Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until they are ready for installation. Recommended Tools Phillips screwdriver Flat-tipped screwdriver Installing System Components 47

49 Hard Drives CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product. CAUTION: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS/SATA backplane. CAUTION: When you remove or install the hard drive, take note of the drive carrier orientation before sliding it out. The carrier does not fit back into the bay if inserted incorrectly. Make sure that the hard drive is connected to the hard drive connector on the backplane CAUTION: When installing a hard-drive carrier, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it unusable. CAUTION: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied with the operating system. Your system supports 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch (SAS or SATA) hard drives. The installation and removal procedures for the 3.5-inch hard drive and 2.5-inch hard drive are similar. The following is an example using the replacement procedure of 3.5-inch hard drive. Removing a Hard-Drive Blank CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have-drive blanks installed. Press the release button and slide the hard-drive blank out of the hard drive bay. See Figure 3-2. Installing System Components 49
