Using Passwords
Passwords are up to seven characters long; may use only the alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z, and
0-9; and are not case sensitive.
You set administrator and user passwords in BIOS Setup. When you have either password set, you
must enter that password to do any of the following:
•
Enter BIOS Setup.
•
Boot the server from drive A: when Secure Boot Mode is enabled.
•
Boot the server when Password on Boot is enabled.
•
Exit secure mode.
When you have both a user and an administrator password set, you may enter either password.
However, if you enter the user password for BIOS Setup, you will be able to modify only the time,
date, language, user password, secure mode timer, and secure mode hot-key. To modify any other
features, you must enter the administrator password.
You can clear a password by setting it to a blank string. If you forget your passwords, you can use
the Password Clear jumper to clear the passwords on the next boot (see "Baseboard Jumpers" on
page 109).

Installing the Server in a Rack

The server mounts in a rack using a Rack Mount Kit. For information on rack mount kits and the
specifications for compatible racks, see "Express5800/140Rb-4 User's Guide".
Install the Rack Mount Kit following the instructions on the back of "Express5800/140Rb-4 User's
Guide" and the instructions that came with the kit.
When installing or removing the server from the rack, use an appropriate mechanical assist unit to
lift and move the server.
