Express5800/R120h-1E, R120h-2E Maintenance Guide
Description
Use this option to revert the server to a previous
BIOS ROM image. The backup image is the BIOS
ROM image that was used prior to the last flash
event.
When configured for Auto mode, the external video
connection to the embedded video controller is
automatically disabled to save power when a
monitor is not attached. It is automatically enabled
when a monitor is attached, including when the
server is operating. When configured for Always
Disabled, the external video connection to the
embedded video controller is disabled, and a
monitor connected to this port does not display
except during system boot. This can be used for
security reasons. When configured for Always
Enabled, the external video connection to the
embedded video controller is always enabled. This
option is only required if a monitor is attached with
a monitor detection that does not function properly
(making AUTO mode not work properly). Note: This
option does not affect Integrated Remote Console
video. Also, if you press F9 or F11 during system
boot, the configured video connector behavior is
overridden, and the video console remains
enabled. This lets you reconfigure the Embedded
Video Connection option even if the video is
disabled.
Use this option to select the level of Consistent
Device Naming. On supported operating systems,
NIC ports are named based on their location in the
system. CDN Support for LOMs Only names
Embedded NICs and FlexibleLOMs. Existing NIC
connections retain their names until reinstalled
under the OS environment.
When enabled, the server logs a message that a
mixed power supply configuration is present. When
disabled, the server no longer logs messages that a
mixed power supply configuration is present.
Use this option to disable the High Precision Event
Timer (HPET) table and device object in ACPI.
When disabled, the HPET is not available to an
operating system that supports the HPET through
the industry standard ACPI name space.
Use this option to display the Fan and Thermal
Options menu. Use this menu to configure
advanced fan and thermal options, such as
Thermal Configuration, Thermal Shutdown, and
Thermal and Fan Policies.
