Configuration/Setup Utility program, the changes are reflected in the system
summary; you cannot change settings directly in the system summary.
This choice is on the full and limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
v System Information
Select this choice to view information about your server. When you make
changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some
of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change
settings directly in the system information.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
– Product Data
Select this choice to view the machine type and model of your server, the
serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS and
diagnostics code stored in electrically erasable programmable ROM
(EEPROM).
v Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output
(I/O) ports and to configure the remote console redirection.
Select this choice to enable or disable integrated SCSI and Ethernet controllers
and all standard ports (such as the serial port). Enable is the default setting for
all controllers. If you disable a device, it cannot be configured, and the operating
system will not be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the
device). If you disable the integrated SCSI controller and no SCSI adapter is
installed, the server will have no SCSI capability. If you disable the integrated
Ethernet controller and no Ethernet adapter is installed, the server will have no
Ethernet capability.
Select this choice to configure and enable the remote console redirection feature
on the server. This feature allows the user to view POST execution, change
system configuration settings and to use DOS based configuration utilities
remotely. See "Remote console redirection" on page 23 for more information.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
v Date and Time
Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format
(hour:minute:second).
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
v System Security
Select this choice to set passwords and the Remote Control Security settings.
See "Passwords" on page 24 for more information about passwords. You can
also enable the chassis-intrusion detector to alert you each time the server cover
is opened.
Note: In a 16-way configuration security settings are defined through the primary
server. If you bypass the 16-way configuration during start up or start the
servers in a stand alone configuration; then, you must define the security
setting on each individual server.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
