Before you install the software, you must modify settings in the firmware (BIOS or UEFI) setup utility. You can also modify some optional, though recommended, settings.
After you modify the settings, save them and perform the next step in the installation procedure (either Installing Software on the First PM or Installing Software on the Second PM).
The following settings are required.
|
First Boot Device |
Controls which device boots the operating system. Set the first boot device to the appropriate value for the boot device you are using:
|
| Virtualization Technology | Allows the processor to use virtualization technology. Set this to Enabled. |
| Execute-Disable Bit Capability | Allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can or cannot execute. Set this to Enabled to help prevent malicious code attacks. |
The following settings are optional but recommended.
|
AC Power Recovery |
Determines whether the server automatically powers on and boots after a power cycle. The recommended setting is ON. |
|
F1/F2 Prompt on Error (Dell systems only) |
Terminates booting if an error is detected during the process. Set this to Disable, as the everRun system may be able to provide more information once the server is running. |
