Setting Remote Administration - IBM IntelliStation Z Pro Type 6866 User Manual

You can set these devices to request a user password, an administrator
password, or not to require a password. This way, if you have a power-on
or administrator password set for your system, you can configure your
computer to prompt you for a password only when certain devices are
accessed at startup. For example, if you set Hard Disk Devices to require a
User password, each time you attempt to start up from the hard disk, you
will be prompted to type the password before the startup proceeds.
Some operating systems require you to type a password before the
operating system will load. Security Profile by Device does not change the
way the operating system works. If an operating system password is
required, you must still type it when prompted, regardless of the Security
Profile by Device settings.
To set Security Profile by Device:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting and using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 37).
2. From the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu, select System
Security and press Enter.
3. Select Security Profile by Device and press Enter.
4. Select the desired devices and settings and press Enter.
5. Press Esc twice to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility program
menu.
6. Select Save Settings from the Configuration/Setup Utility menu; then
press Esc and follow the instructions on the screen to exit from the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Setting Remote Administration

You can remotely update the system programs, such as POST and BIOS,
from a network server by enabling Remote Administration. If you have set
an administrator password for your computer, the password does not have
to be entered in order to remotely update programs. Consult your network
administrator for information on setting up your network server to perform
POST and BIOS updates.
To set Remote Administration, follow these steps:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See "Starting and using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 37.
2. Select System Security and press Enter.
3. Select Remote Administration and press Enter.
