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 by
removing the blade server battery and then reinstalling it, or by using the power-on
password override switch (see the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the
Documentation CD for instructions).

Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD contains a setup and installation
program that is designed for the IBM blade server. The ServerGuide program
detects the blade server model and optional hardware devices that are installed and
uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide
program simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device
drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically.
If a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free
image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD or you can purchase the CD
from the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/
xseries/systems_management/serverguide/sub.html. To download the image, click
IBM Service and Support Site.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
The ServerGuide program has the following features to make setup easier:
