IBM xSeries 230 6RY Hardware Maintenance Manual page 41

Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time
sent to the Advanced System Management Processor (service processor) when
the server is started. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup
Utility main menu.
The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour:minute:second.
You can set a time delta to be added or subtracted from the system time that is
sent to the service processor (Configuration/Setup Utility) each time the server
is started. Use the number keys to enter the hours and minutes and + or − to
add or subtract from the system time. If you want the system clock time to be
the same as the Configuration/Setup Utility clock time, leave the value set at its
default of 0.
v System Security
Select this choice to set passwords or a system owner's name. This choice
appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
You can implement two levels of password protection:
– Power-on Password
Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See "Using
passwords" on page 35 for more information.
– Administrator Password
Select this choice to set or change an administrator password.
Attention: If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, 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 35 for more information.
– System Owner's Name
Select this choice to specify a system owner's name, which will display
during POST. You can remove or change the name only from the System
Security menu. You can use any combination of up to 16 characters for the
system owner's name.
v Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options. This choice appears only
on the full Configuration/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.
You also can select which PCI SCSI adapter is given boot precedence. The first
drive that is attached to the selected adapter will be assigned drive number 80L
and the operating system will start from that drive. The default for boot
precedence is Disabled. The range of choices depends upon the number of PCI
SCSI adapters installed in the server.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot
record at startup. You also can choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or the
quick mode.
