Administrator password
An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it
limits access to the full Setup utility menu.
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for
access to the full Setup utility menu. You can use any combination of 6 - 20

Starting the backup server firmware

The system board contains a backup copy area for the IBM System x Server
Firmware (server firmware). This is a secondary copy of the server firmware that
you update only during the process of updating the server firmware. If the primary
copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy of the server firmware, turn off the
server; then, move the UEFI boot recovery J117 jumper to the backup position (pins
2 and 3). See "System-board jumpers" on page 25 for more information.
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After
the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the UEFI boot recovery
J117 jumper back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
