Getting Started
BIOS setup
The server's system setup can be changed using the BIOS setup Utility. You can make
changes to the BIOS setup even if an operating system has not been installed on the
server. The system settings you enter are written in the CMOS and flash memory and
take effect when you restart the server. BIOS settings are used for reference during the
POST.
If the server hardware doesn't support the values you enter, an appropriate error
message appears on the screen when the POST routine completes. If this occurs,
change the setting using the BIOS Setup Utility.
Backup diskettes
The Toshiba Server Setup Tool (SST) contains software that allows you to make backup
diskettes of the drivers, utilities, and data stored on the server. Make as many backup
diskettes as necessary to record the configuration of the server. Store the backup
diskettes in a safe place.

the server is not powered on see
