IBM xSeries 366 Type 8863: Problem Determination and Service Guide
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. See "Power-on
password" on page 138 for more information.
– 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 I/O 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 139 for more information.
This choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an IBM Remote
Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed.
Select this choice to view or change the start options. Changes in the start
options take effect when you restart the server.
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 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.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the boot record
when the server starts.
You can enable the use of a USB keyboard in a DOS or System Setup
environment. If a PS/2 keyboard is detected, the USB legacy operation will be
disabled.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
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.
– System Partition Visibility
Select this choice to specify whether the System Partition is to be visible or
hidden.
– PCI Slot/Device Information
Select this choice to view system resources used by installed PCI/PCI-X
devices. PCI/PCI-X devices are usually configured automatically. This
information is saved when you exit. The Save Settings, Restore Settings,
and Load Default Settings choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility main
menu do not save the PCI Slot/Device Information settings.
This selection is only available when a Remote Supervisor II Adapter SlimLine
is installed in the server.
