www.gateway.com

Opening the BIOS Setup utility

The BIOS Setup utility stores basic settings for your server. These settings include

basic hardware configuration, resource settings, and password security. These

settings are stored and saved even when the power is off.

To open the BIOS Setup utility:

1 Restart your server.

2 Press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears during startup. The BIOS

Setup utility opens.

When you select menu items, the Item Specific Help box on the right side

of the screen displays specific information about the selection. The

command bar across the bottom of the screen shows the keys you press

to access help, navigate through the menus, and perform other tasks.

3 Select one of these menus:

■ Main gives you access to basic information and settings related to your

server’s hardware and configuration.

■ Advanced gives you access to information and settings for system

resources, hardware, and server’s configuration.

■ Power gives you access to settings that control your server’s power

management features.

■ Boot lets you change startup settings.

■ Security gives you access to settings related to system access passwords.

For more information, see “Server security” on page 22.

■ Exit gives you access to options for closing the BIOS Setup utility.

Caution The options in the BIOS Setup utility have been set at the

factory for optimal performance. Changes to these

settings will affect the performance of your server.

Before changing any settings, write them down in case you

need to restore them later. You can record the settings on

a printout of this guide’s appendix for “BIOS Settings” on

page 105.
