[. . . ] Press <Esc> during POST to pop up a boot menu when POST finishes. What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an operating system loaded and if so, which one. If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code indicating a fatal system error that requires immediate attention. If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message appears. Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is useful for your service representative. For a listing of common beep codes and error messages that POST can generate, see the "Solving Problems" chapter in this manual. Using BIOS Setup Utility This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present. If You Cannot Access Setup If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. MAXDATA Workstation Fusion 7000 23 Starting Setup You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions: · · When you turn on the Workstation, after POST completes the memory test When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the Workstation board to the "Clear CMOS" position (enabled) In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt: Press <F2> to enter SETUP In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not the <F2> prompt: Warning: CMOS checksum invalid Warning: CMOS time and date not set In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot. Setup Menus Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those that are provided for informational purposes, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. If a value is not changeable due to insufficient security privileges (or other reasons), the feature's value field becomes inaccessible. The bottom portion of the BIOS Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used for navigating the Setup utility. Table 6 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup menus. 24 Configuration Software and Utilities Table 6. Keyboard Commands Press <F1> F5/Description Help - Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window. The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Select Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Change Value - The minus key or the F5 function key is used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. Change Value - The plus key or the F6 function key is used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it has the same effect. Execute Command - The Enter key is used to activate submenus when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu. [. . . ] If these pins are jumpered, administrator and user passwords will be cleared on the next reset. If these pins are jumpered, the system will attempt to recover the BIOS by loading the BIOS code into the flash device from a floppy disk. If these pins are jumpered, the CMOS settings will be cleared on the next reset. If it becomes necessary to update the BIOS Boot Block, this jumper should be removed during the update process.
