v System Information Select this choice to view information about the server. When you make changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the system information. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. 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 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. If you disable the integrated USB controller, the server will have no USB capability; to maintain USB capability, make sure that Enabled is selected for the USB Support and USB 2.0 Support options. If the server is a SATA model, select this choice to configure the SATA ports. Select this choice to enable and configure serial remote video and keyboard redirection, and to set other remote console values. 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). v System Security Select this choice to set password settings. See "Passwords" on page 54 for more information about passwords. You can also enable the chassis-intrusion detector to alert you each time that the server cover is removed. - Power-on Password Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See "Power-on password" on page 55 for more information. - Administrator Password This choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II 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. For more information, see "Administrator password" on page 55. 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 the server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system 52 xSeries 206m Types 8485 and 8490: User's Guide
