Since most systems are already properly configured and optimized, there is no need to run this utility. You will need to run this utility under the following conditions. · · · · · When changing the system configuration settings When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts When modifying the power management configuration When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted ("Run Setup" message) to make changes to the BIOS setup Note: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance. BIOS setup loads the configuration values in a battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM which allows configuration data to be retained when power is turned off. [. . . ] To minimize the chances of injuries, make sure that two or more people help in installing the server. To install the system into a four-post rack 1 Remove the inner rails from the mounting rails. (1) Extend the inner rail from the mounting rail until the rail release latch clicks.
