Attention: Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then,
disconnect all power cords and external cables. Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and
"Installation guidelines" on page 44. Do not change settings or move jumpers on any system-board switch
or jumper blocks that are not shown in this document.
The default for all of the switches on switch block SW1 is Off.
While the server is turned off, move switch 1 on the switch block SW1 to the On position to enable the
power-on password override. You can then start the Setup utility and reset the power-on password. You
do not have to return the switch to the previous position.
The power-on password override switch does not affect the administrator password.
Administrator password
This topic provides information about setting an administrator password using the server Setup utility.
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for access to the full Setup
utility menu. You can use any combination of 6 to 20 printable ASCII characters for the password.
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 standard I/O book.
