Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed.
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 14 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. You can enable the server to run without a diskette drive, monitor, or
keyboard.
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 your
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.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
v Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change settings for advanced hardware features.
Important: The server might malfunction if these options are incorrectly
configured. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

Select this choice to specify whether the System Partition is to be visible or
hidden. See "Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD" on page 15
for additional information about the System Partition.
– Memory Settings
Select this choice to manually enable a pair of memory connectors. If a
memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server
automatically disables the failing pair of memory connectors and continues
operating with reduced memory. After the problem is corrected, you must
manually enable the memory connectors. Use the arrow keys to highlight the
pair of memory connectors that you want to enable, and use the arrow keys to
select Enable.
