Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Program Dual If a power failure occurs, when power is restored, the server will automatically restart and resume operating in this mode, without operator intervention. If you press the power switch to start the server, the server operates in password prompt On mode. If you start the server by an unattended method, such as remotely over a LAN, the server operates in password prompt Off mode. To set or change a power-on password: 1. Select Power-On Password. 2. Enter your password and press the Down Arrow (↓) key. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for this password. Keep a record of the password in a safe place. 3. Enter your password again. 4. At Password Prompt, select Off, On, or Dual. Press the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to toggle between selections. Note: If Update POST/BIOS from network is enabled, you cannot select On. In this case, select Dual. If the password prompt mode is set to On when Update POST/BIOS from network is enabled, the mode will automatically be reset to Dual. 5. Select Change Power-On Password, and follow the instructions on the screen. Notes: 1. If a power-on password is set and then forgotten, you must remove the server cover and move a jumper on the system board. (Refer to "Using the Clear CMOS Request Jumper to Erase Forgotten Passwords" on page 204 for further information.) 2. If a power-on password is set and the password prompt is set to Off, the pointing device (mouse) is disabled until you enter the power-on password. 34 Netfinity 3500 User's Handbook
