4. Instrucións de funcionamento
4.1 Configuración da BIOS/UEFI
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) allows you to configure system settings. To access the BIOS/UEFI setup utility:
- Encender o sistema.
- Preme o DEL key repeatedly during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup.
- Navigate through the menus using arrow keys and make necessary adjustments for boot order, SATA mode (AHCI/RAID), and other system parameters.
- Save changes and exit to restart the system.
4.2 Instalación do sistema operativo
After configuring the BIOS/UEFI, you can proceed with installing your preferred operating system (e.g., Windows Server, Linux distributions).
- Prepare Installation Media: Create a bootable USB drive or DVD with your operating system installation files.
- Definir a orde de arranque: In BIOS/UEFI, set the boot priority to your installation media.
- Install OS: Follow the on-screen prompts to install the operating system.
- Instalar controladores: After OS installation, install all necessary drivers for the motherboard components (chipset, LAN, graphics, etc.) from the Supermicro website or the provided driver disc.
