5-1 Introduction

This document describes the AMI

BIOS Setup utility for the SBA-7142G-T4 Blade

Module. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using

a floppy disk-based program.

Running Setup

Note: Default settings are in bold text unless otherwise noted.

The BIOS setup options described in this section are selected by choosing the

appropriate text from the M

AIN BIOS SETUP screen. All displayed text is described in this

section, although the screen display is often all you need to understand how to set the

options.

When you first power on the computer, the BIOS is immediately activated. While the

BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

1. By pressing <D

ELETE> immediately after turning the system on, or

2. When the message Press the <Delete> key to enter Setup appears briefly at the

bottom of the screen during the POST, press the <D

ELETE> key to activate the main

ETUP menu.

5-2 Main BIOS Setup Menu

The MAIN MENU screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that

can be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. The right frame displays

the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an

option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will

accompany it.

Note: The BIOS has default text messages built in. SuperMicro retains the option to

include, omit, or change any of these text messages.

Settings printed in Bold are the default values. Use the U

P/DOWN arrow keys to move

among the different settings in each menu. Use the L

EFT/RIGHT arrow keys to change

the options for each setting.

Items that use sub-menus are indicated with the

 icon. With the item highlighted,

press the <E

NTER> key to access the submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of

these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <E

NTER>, <ESC>, <ARROW> keys, and so on) can be

used at any time during the setup navigation process. Press the <E

SC> key to exit the

CMOS S

ETUP menu.
