Editing Colo Server Setup (section)

= BIOS =
You will want to adjust the following settings (where supported):

* set the date and time to GMT
* disable quiet boot
* set the resume on power loss option to ''last state'' (this ensures that if the DC loses power, the server will turn on when power is restored, and more importantly the same will happen when the ATS port is power cycled).
* make sure USB is not disabled (to allow KVM ISO mount/boot)
* optionally, disable ROM option for NICs so they don't waste time trying to pxe boot
* disable booting to network 
* adjust the boot order to boot first to HD/RAID. Note: if you're booting to KVM ISO you will have to reboot after the ISO is mounted before you see the Belkin device show up as a bootable device (which you can then move up in the boot order)
