— Power-on Password
Select this choice to set or change a power-on
password. See "Using passwords" on page 48 for
more information.
— Administrator Password
Select this choice to set or change an administra-
tor password.
Attention:
If an administrator password is set and then for-
gotten, it cannot be overridden or removed. You
must replace the system board.
The administrator password provides access to all
choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility main
menu. You can set, change, or delete both the
administrator and power-on passwords, and allow
a power-on password to be changed by the user.
See"Using passwords" on page 48 for more infor-
mation.
• Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options.
This choice appears only on the full Configura-
tion/Setup Utility main menu. Start options take effect
when you start your server.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics,
such as the keyboard speed. You also can specify
whether the keyboard number lock starts on or off. You
also can enable the server to run without a diskette
drive, monitor, or keyboard.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the
device from which the operating system loads. For
example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then
checks the hard disk drive in bay 1, and then checks a
network adapter.
If the Boot Fail Count choice is enabled, you can
restore the BIOS system defaults after three consecu-
tive boot failures. If this choice is disabled, the BIOS
system defaults can only be loaded from the Configu-
ration/Setup Utility main menu.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for
changes in the master boot record at startup.
• Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change values for advanced hard-
ware features, such as cache control, and PCI configu-
ration. This choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
A warning message appears above the choices on this
menu to alert you that the system might malfunction if
these options are configured incorrectly. Follow the
instructions on the screen carefully.
— Processor Serial Number Access
Select this choice to identify if the microprocessor
serial number in the microprocessor is readable.
