System Card Data

Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server

components.

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 SAS and 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.

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 passwords. See “Passwords” on page 66 for more

information about passwords. You can also enable the chassis-intrusion detector

to alert you each time the server cover is removed.


–

Power-on Password

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

information, see “Power-on password” on page 66.

–

Administrator Password

Attention:

If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is

no way to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the

microprocessor board.

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. See

“Administrator password” on page 67 for more information.

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.

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.
