BIOS Setup
4 BIOS Setup
This chapter introduces BIOS function setup and mainboard jumper of the server. All
operations described in this section are only limited to operators or administrators with
system maintenance qualification.
BIOS is a basic input and output system. The system parameter and the hard drive parameter
can be adjusted through special set program. BIOS has great influence on the system start
and running so that setting parameters improperly may arose the conflict among the
hardware resource, or fall down the system run performance. Hence understanding the
BIOS setup is significant to the configuration of your server. If no especial requirement, you
are suggested to use the default value and not alter the parameters optionally.
Notes:
1. Before the server BIOS setup is altered, please record the corresponding original setup.
Hence when there are operating problems in the system due to the option altered, the
setup can revert.
2. Ordinarily the factory default system value is the optimized setup. Don’t try to alter the
parameters before you understand their denotations.
3. The common setup is introduced in detail in this paper. The less referred options in the
application procedure are simply explained or not.
4. The content of the BIOS is diverse based on the different configurations of the products;
hence the detailed introduction is elided.
4.1 Login to the BIOS Interface
Power up the server, the system starts to boot, when the screen shows the following Inspur
Logo prompt:
When pressing <DEL> to SETUP or <TAB> to POST or <F11> to Boot Menu or <F12> to PXE
Boot as shown in the following figure, press the [DEL] key, the system will show “Entering
Setup...” in the lower right corner of the screen, and then will enter the system BIOS settings.
In the BIOS main menu, you can use the arrow keys to select the sub-item and press Enter key to
enter the submenu.
Other hotkeys are described in the following:
 Press “F2” key to enter the BIOS Setup interface.

14
 Press “TAB” key to display the POST process system information.
 Press “F11” key to enter the startup management interface and select the startup device

BIOS Setup
4.2 UEFI/Legacy Mode Switching
Log in to the BIOS Setup interface, select the “Advanced CSM Configuration” interface,
press Enter, set the Boot Mode option, set the system startup mode (UEFI Mode/Legacy
Mode), and set the implementation method of Option ROM of Network, Storage, Video
Oprom Policy and other PCI devices accordingly as shown in the following figure.
Currently, the default setting of the platform is Legacy Mode Network, Storage, Video
Oprom Policy, and the Option ROM of Other PCI device is also set to Legacy.
If the Boot Mode is set to UEFI Mode, the implementation mode of the Option ROM of the
Network must be set to UEFI, Storage, Video Oprom Policy, and the implementation mode
of the Option ROM of Other PCI device is recommended to be set to UEFI, which can also
set to Legacy if there are special requirements. Compared with legacy mode, UEFI mode
has many advantages, supporting booting from GPT format hard drive larger than 2.2T,
PXE booting of IPv6/IPv4 network, and providing UEFI Shell environment. This item can be
customized according to customer needs.
4.3 View System Information
Log in to the BIOS Setup interface, and “Main” screen will display the information summary
