When a server that had been partitioned as part of a 16-way environment is
separated and runs as a standalone, some choices might revert to their
pre-16-way values.
Descriptions of the choices that are available from the main menu are as follows:
v System Summary
Select this choice to display configuration information. This includes the type and
speed of the microprocessor and the amount of memory that is installed.
Changes that you make to configuration settings appear on this summary screen.
You cannot edit the fields.
This choice appears on both the full and limited Configuration/Setup Utility
menus.
v System Information
– Product Data
Select this choice to view system information, such as the machine type and
model, the server serial number, and the revision level, date, and build level of
the BIOS code, Diagnostics, and ASM Adapter.
– System Card Data
Select this choice to view information about the planar, processor cards, I/O
planar, power supplies, DASD backplane, and power backplane.
v Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change the assignments for devices and
input/output ports. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility
main menu.
You can use this choice to enable or disable the integrated SCSI, Ethernet, and
Diskette controllers.
Notes:
1. The default setting is Enable for all the controllers. If you select Disable, the
system will not configure the disabled device, and the operating system will
not detect the device. (This is equivalent to unplugging the device.)
2. If the integrated SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller for a mass
storage device is installed, operating-system startup cannot occur.
The IDE Configuration Menu is also located in Devices and I/O Ports. This menu
is used to enable or disable the primary and secondary IDE channels and to view
information about the devices configured on each IDE channel.
v Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system
time that is sent to the Remote Supervisor Adapter 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).
v System Security
Select this choice to set or change the power-on or administrator password. See
"Using passwords" on page 19 for more information.
The Remote Control Security Settings menu is located in System Security. This
menu is used to set the Failed Login Threshold and the Automatic Lockout Delay.
You can also use this menu to save, change, or delete a remote control
password.
v Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options. Start options take effect
when you start the server.
