Select this choice to view system information, such as the machine type and model, the server serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS stored in the flash electronically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM). - System Card Data Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server components. • Devices and I/O Ports Select this choice to view or change the assignments for devices and input/output ports. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. This choice also allows you to enable or disable the integrated SCSI, video, and Ethernet controllers. - The default setting is Enable for all the controllers. If you select Disable, the system will not configure the disabled device and the operating system will not see the device. (This is equivalent to unplugging the device.) - If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller and mass storage device are installed, operating system startup cannot occur. - If the video controller is disabled and no video adapter is installed, the server will have no video capability. • Select System Service Processor Settings to view the interrupt-request setting (IRQ) used by the Advanced System Management Processor (system service processor). You can then use the arrow keys to select a new IRQ setting for the Advanced System Management Processor from the list of available choices. • Date and Time Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time sent to the Advanced System Management Processor (service processor) when the server is started. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour:minute:second. You can set a time delta to be added or subtracted from the system time that is sent to the service processor (Advanced System Management Processor) each time the server is started. Use the number keys to enter the hours and minutes and + or − to add or subtract from the system time. If you want the system clock time to be the same as the Advanced System Management Processor clock time, leave the value set at its default of 0. • System Security Select this choice to set passwords or a system owner's name. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. You can implement two levels of password protection: Configuring the server 45
