PC Server 300 - Setup Utility

Applicable to: World-Wide

To use the SETUP utility:

On early versions of BIOS:
1. Turn on the Server

2. Use one of the following options:-
a. During the POST memory test, press and then release the SPACE bar; then press and release the CTRL, ALT, and S keys Simultaneously.
b. In any DOS full screen, press then release the CTRL, ALT, and S keys simultaneously. (CTRL, ALT, S will not work in an OS/2 DOS box).

3. The "Standard System Parameters" screen will appear.

4. Follow the instructions on the screen to view or change the configuration.

5. Press ESC from any screen in the setup utility. The "Exiting Setup" pop-up screen will appear.

6. Press F4 to save the configuration information and restart the server.

On later versions of BIOS:
Press CTRL/ALT/S immediately after the BEEP at the end of POST to access the Setup Utility.

When configuring an 8640, you must correctly exit the SETUP utility in order to save the configuration information.

Notes
a. If a configuration error occurs during POST, a configuration error message appears before the operating system loads. (Press F1 to bypass the error.)
b. DO NOT start the Setup Utility while using the EISA Configuration program (diskette).
