IBM x3455 - System - 7984 User Manual page 73

You can enable or disable integrated Ethernet and other controllers and all
standard ports (such as serial). Enable is the default setting for all controllers. If
you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating system will not
be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable
the integrated SATA controller, the server will have no SATA capability. If you
disable the integrated video controller, the server will have no video capability. If
you disable the integrated Ethernet controller and no Ethernet adapter is
installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
– Remote Console Redirection
Select this choice to view and change the settings for the serial connection
that is used to redirect the local keyboard-video-mouse console to a remote
console.
To redirect the local keyboard-video-mouse console to a remote serial port,
you must set the Remote Console Serial Port value to Enabled. The default
value is Disabled.
– System MAC Addresses
Select this choice to view the media-access control (MAC) addresses of the
two integrated Ethernet controllers. You cannot change these values.

(hour:minute:second).

– Power-on password
Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See "Power-on
password" on page 62 for more information.
– 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. See
"Administrator password" on page 62 for more information.
v Startup Option
Select this choice to view or change the start options. Changes in the start
options take effect when you restart the server.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
You can specify whether the server starts with the keyboard number lock on or
off. The POST screens show the memory count, detected devices, and any
errors encountered.
You can enable or disable legacy USB support. (Legacy USB support enables a
non-USB-aware operating system such as DOS or UNIX
keyboard and mouse.)
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.
