IBM System x3250 M2 Types 4190, 4191 and 4194: Problem Determination and Service Guide
– Administrator Password
Select this choice to set or change an administrator password. An
administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it
limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If an administrator
password is set, the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available only if
you type the administrator password at the password prompt. For more
information, see "Administrator password" on page 21.
– Power-on Password
Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. For more
information, see "Power-on password" on page 21.
Select this choice to view or change the startup options, such as the startup
sequence, the keyboard NumLock state, the option ROM execution priorities,
whether displayless operation is enabled, whether to restart on POST/BIOS error,
and other startup considerations. You can also select this choice to enable or
disable hard disk drive self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology
(SMART). Changes in the startup options take effect when you restart the server.
Select the option ROM execution-priority choices (Planar PXE/DHCP Priority
and PCI Device Boot Priority) to specify the sequence in which channels are
checked during startup to load and execute the ROMs for optional devices. This
enables you to tailor the ROM load-and-execution sequence for maximum
efficiency. Planar PXE/DHCP Priority specifies the priority of network-related
ROMs relative to local PCI device ROMs; PCI Device Boot Priority specifies the
priority of ROMs for devices connected to the SAS/SATA controller on the system
board and to adapters in expansion slots 1 and 2.
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to
find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. For
example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a CD or DVD in the
CD or DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks for a USB
key drive (flash drive). If the server has Wake on LAN hardware and software
and the operating system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a
startup sequence for the Wake on LAN functions.
If you have not changed the default startup sequence, the server starts the
devices in the following order: the CD or DVD drive; then, the USB diskette drive,
USB memory key, USB CD drive, or USB hard disk drive, if you have installed
any in the server; then, the hard disk drives that are connected to the system
board; then, the drives that are connected to the SAS/SATA controller; then, the
integrated Ethernet controllers 1 and 2.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
Select this choice to change settings for advanced hardware features.
Important: The server might malfunction if these choices are incorrectly
configured. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
– CPU Options
Select this choice to enable or disable core multiprocessing, the
execute-disable bit capability, and other microprocessor functions.
– PCI Bus Control
Select this choice to view the system resources that are used by installed PCI
devices.
