Select this choice to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you have
not saved the changes you have made in the settings, you are asked whether you want
to save the changes or exit without saving them.

Using Passwords

From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password.
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 full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the
password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place.
If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the blade server in by
removing the blade server battery and then reinstalling it, or by using the power-on
password override switch (see the Intel
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide on the Resource CD for instructions).

Using the PXE Boot Agent Utility Program

Use the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program to select the
boot protocol and other boot options and to select a power-management option.
Note: The blade server does not support Remote Program Load (RPL) selection for the boot
protocol option.
To start the PXE boot agent utility program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on the server.
2. When the Broadcom NetXtreme Boot Agent vX.X.X prompt appears,
press Ctrl+S. You have 2 seconds (by default) to press Ctrl+S after the prompt
appears.
If the PXE setup prompt is not displayed, use the Configuration/Setup Utility program
to set the Enable Ethernet PXE/DHCP option.
3. Use the arrow keys or press Enter to select a choice from the menu.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to change the settings of the selected items; then,
press Enter.

Firmware Updates

Intel periodically makes BIOS, service processor (BMC), and diagnostic firmware
updates available for the blade server. Before you install the blade server in a SBCE unit,
go to http://support.intel.com/support/
server. Install the updates, using the instructions that are included with the downloaded
