You can set, change, and delete a power-on password and an administrator password through this
selection. 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.
A password must contain 6 to 20 characters. You can use any combination of alphabetic and numeric
characters for passwords. Keep a record of your passwords in a secure place.
If you forget the power-on password, you can use the power-on password switch (switch 2) on the system
board switch block (SW6) to regain access to the server. See Table 3 "System board SW6 switch block
definition" on page 37.
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 Boot Manager

The Boot Manager program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use to
temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing settings in the Setup Utility.
To use the Boot Manager program, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Turn off the server.
Step 2. Restart the server.
When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12.
Step 3.
Step 4. Use the Up arrow and Down arrow keys to select an item from the menu and press Enter.
The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Setup Utility.
