– Administrator Password
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. For more
information, see "Administrator password" on page 42.

Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. For more

v Startup Options
Select this choice to view or change the startup options, such as the startup
sequence and the keyboard NumLock state. Changes in the startup options take
effect when you restart the server.
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. For
example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a CD or DVD in the
CD or DVD drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks a network
adapter. 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 have not changed the default startup sequence, the server starts the
devices in the following order: the CD or DVD drive; then, the USB diskette drive,
USB memory key, USB CD drive, or USB hard disk drive, if you have installed
any in the server; then, the hard disk drives that are connected to the system
board; then, the drives connected to the SAS/SATA controller; then, the
integrated Ethernet controllers 1 and 2; then, the PCI Express slots 1 and 2.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

Important: The server might malfunction if these choices are incorrectly
