Access to BIOS settings on DL380

[William Martin_2]

Hi,

I am a novice in this area hence this basic (hopefully!) question. I have a DL380 original and don't know how to access the BIOS settings. I have read about setting them from linux, but I wondered if you could do it from windows 2000, or by simply pressing a key during boot up. No message appears regarding BIOS setting during boot time.

Any ideas appreciated.

Bill

This machine doesn't have any ROM based utility. Immediately after POST ends you should see an F10 prompt. If you don't have it or it gives you an error when attempting to access it, then it'll require either booting off a Smart Start 5.5 or earlier CD or downloading the utility and creating the floppies (4) for this:
