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. 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 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. 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. - 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. 136 IBM xSeries 366 Type 8863: Problem Determination and Service Guide
