RPL or DHCP: RPL (Remote Program Load) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enable a network administrator to control your server. If you use RPL in conjunction with software such as LANClient Control Manager, you can use a feature called Hybrid RPL. Using LANClient Control Manager, you set up your computer by installing hybrid images (or files) on the hard disk. Then, each time the computer starts from the network, LANClient Control Manager recognizes your computer as a Hybrid RPL client and a bootstrap program is downloaded to your computer. This bootstrap program is small and helps prevent network congestion. Working from the hybrid images, the bootstrap program initiates the startup process from the hard disk of your computer. An advantage to Hybrid RPL is that the network load associated with standard RPL is avoided. POST/BIOS update over the network: This feature makes it possible for the POST and BIOS in your computer to be updated remotely by a network administrator. Network-management software, such as LANClient Control Manager, is required in order to take advantage of this feature. Keyboard speed You can change the speed at which the keyboard responds when you hold down a key. The normal typematic rate is 10 characters per second, but you can use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to increase this rate to 30 characters per second. Refer to "Start Options" on page 28 for information on setting keyboard speed. Locks To deter unauthorized use of your server, you can lock the cover and keyboard. Locking the cover: You can use the cover lock and keys to secure the outside cover. Two identical keys are provided with your server. Locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate these keys. You must order replacement keys from the key manufacturer. The key serial number and the telephone number are on a tag attached to the keys. Store the tag in a safe place. Locking the keyboard: You can disable the keyboard so that others are unable to use it. If a power-on password is set, the keyboard is locked when you turn on the server. You must type the correct password before the keyboard will unlock. You can enable the power-on password feature with the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See "Setting and changing a power-on password" on page 39. Netfinity 8655 - Type 8655 57

RPL or DHCP:
RPL (Remote Program Load) and
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enable a
network administrator to control your server.
If you use
RPL in conjunction with software such as LANClient
Control Manager, you can use a feature called
Hybrid
RPL
.
Using LANClient Control Manager, you set up your
computer by installing hybrid images (or files) on the hard
disk.
Then, each time the computer starts from the
network, LANClient Control Manager recognizes your
computer as a Hybrid RPL client and a
bootstrap
program
is downloaded to your computer.
This bootstrap program
is small and helps prevent network congestion.
Working
from the hybrid images, the bootstrap program initiates the
startup process from the hard disk of your computer.
An
advantage to Hybrid RPL is that the network load
associated with standard RPL is avoided.
POST/BIOS update over the network:
This
feature makes it possible for the POST and BIOS in your
computer to be updated remotely by a network
administrator.
Network-management software, such as
LANClient Control Manager, is required in order to take
advantage of this feature.
Keyboard speed
You can change the speed at which the keyboard
responds when you hold down a key.
The normal
typematic rate
is 10 characters per second, but you can
use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to increase this
rate to 30 characters per second.
Refer to “Start Options”
on page
28 for information on setting keyboard speed.
Locks
To deter unauthorized use of your server, you can lock the
cover and keyboard.
Locking the cover:
You can use the cover lock and
keys to secure the outside cover.
Two identical keys are provided with your server.
Locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate these keys.
You must order replacement keys from the key
manufacturer.
The key serial number and the telephone
number are on a tag attached to the keys.
Store the tag in
a safe place.
Locking the keyboard:
You can disable the
keyboard so that others are unable to use it.
If a power-on
password is set, the keyboard is locked when you turn on
the server.
You must type the correct password before the
keyboard will unlock.
You can enable the power-on
password feature with the Configuration/Setup Utility
program.
See “Setting and changing a power-on
password” on page
39.
