erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM). 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, and to specify whether parallel ATA, Serial ATA, or both, will be the | native mode for the server. | Select this choice to enable or disable integrated Ethernet controllers, SATA | RAID, 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 vew and 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 17 for more information about passwords. You can also enable the chassis-intrusion detector to alert you each time the server cover is removed. - 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. See "Administrator password" on page 17 for more information. - Power-on Password Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See "User password" on page 17 for more information. v Startup Option 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. You can enable or disable USB support. 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 Legacy Support and | USB devices options. 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. You can also specify whether the integrated SCSI controller or an optional SCSI adapter has boot precedence. If you enable the boot fail count, the BIOS default settings will be restored after three consecutive failures to find a boot record. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
