Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

ServerGuide features

While the server is turned off, move the switch to the position opposite its current
position. You can then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the
power-on password. You do not need to return the switch to the previous
position.
The power-on password override switch does not affect the administrator
password.
Administrator password
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for
access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of
up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password. The Administrator
password choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an Remote
Supervisor Adapter is installed.
Attention:
If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no way
to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the system board.
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD includes an easy-to-use setup and
installation program that is designed for your server. The ServerGuide program
detects the server model and hardware options that are installed and uses that
information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide program
simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in
some cases, installing them automatically.
Note: If your server model came with an operating system, such as Microsoft
Windows 2000 Datacenter Server or VMware ESX server, see the software
documentation provided with your software for configuration information.
If a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free

v A system BIOS code update program, which updates the BIOS code directly from
