Using passwords
Use this information to set, change, or delete a power-on password.
You can set, change, and delete a power-on password and an administrator
password in the Setup utility by selecting System Settings then System Security.
If you set a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to
complete the system startup and to have access to the Setup Utility menu.
The password must be from 6 to 20 characters. You can use any combination of
ASCII printable characters for the password. Keep a record of your password in a
secure place.
If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the blade server
either by removing the blade server battery and then reinstalling it or by using the
power-on password override switch (see the Problem Determination and Service
Guide on the Documentation CD for instructions).
An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it
limits access to the full Setup utility menu.
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.
Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
Use this information as an overview for using the ServerGuide Setup and
Installation CD.
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD contains a setup and installation program

simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and,
in some cases, installing them automatically.
You can download a free image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD or
purchase the CD from the ServerGuide fulfillment website at http://
