You can use this choice also to enable or disable the integrated SCSI controller
with RAID capabilities and Ethernet (LAN) controllers, and standard ports (serial,
parallel, and so on).
– The default setting is Enabled for all the controllers you can control from this
menu. If you select Disabled, the system will not configure the disabled
device and the operating system will not detect the device. (This is equivalent
to unplugging the device.)
– If the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities is disabled and no
SCSI adapter is installed, the computer will have no SCSI capability.
– If the on-board Ethernet controller is disabled and no Ethernet adapter is
installed, the computer will have no Ethernet capability.
v Date and Time
Use this menu choice to set the system date and time. The system time is in a
24-hour format: hour:minute:second.
v System Security
Select this choice to set a power-on or an administrator password. See "Using
passwords" on page 24 for more information. You also can enable the
chassis-intrusion detector to alert you each time the computer cover is removed.
v Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options. Start options take effect
when you start your computer. You can designate keyboard operating
characteristics, such as the keyboard speed, or specify whether the computer
starts with the keyboard number lock on or off.
The computer uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system starts. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive; then, checks the hard disk
drive, and then checks a network adapter. You can enable a virus-warning test
that checks for changes in the master boot record at startup. You also can
choose to run POST in the quick mode, or read the microprocessor serial
number.
v Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as
Cache Control and PCI configuration.
A message displays 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.
– Power Management Setup
Select this choice to enable or disable system power settings. This includes
automatic power-on settings such as Wake on LAN.
– Chipset Feature
Select this choice to modify settings that control features of the core chip set
on the system board.
Attention:
Do not make changes to the Chipset Feature unless directed to
do so by an IBM authorized service representative.
– Processor Control
Select this choice to enable or disable the microprocessor cache and
hyper-threading.
Attention:
Do not make changes to the Processor Control unless directed
to do so by an IBM authorized service representative.
