– System Card Data
Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server
components.
v Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output
(I/O) ports.
Select this choice to enable or disable integrated SAS and Ethernet controllers
and all standard ports (such as serial and parallel). 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 Ethernet controller and no Ethernet
adapter is installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability.
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. See "Passwords" on page 60 for more
information about passwords. You can also enable the chassis-intrusion detector
to alert you each time the server cover is removed.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
– Power-on Password
Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. For more
information, see "Power-on password" on page 60.
– Administrator 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
microprocessor board.
Select this choice to set or change an administrator password. An
administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it
limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If an administrator
password is set, the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available only if
you type the administrator password at the password prompt. See
"Administrator password" on page 61 for more information.
v Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options. Changes in the start
options take effect when you restart the server.
You can set keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed, and
you can specify whether the server starts with the keyboard number lock on or
off.
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to
find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. If the
server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system
supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the
Wake on LAN functions.
If you enable the boot fail count, the BIOS default settings will be restored after
three consecutive failures to find a boot record.
