You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an expansion slot. See the documentation that comes with the serial adapter for information about port assignments. You can configure the parallel port as bidirectional; that is, so that data can be both read from and written to a device. In bidirectional mode, the server supports Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP). To display or change the assignments for devices, the serial ports, or parallel port: 1. Select Devices and I/O Ports. 2. Select a device or port; use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to advance through the settings. The Devices and I/O Ports choice appears only on the full System Configuration Utility main menu. Notes 1. When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional, use an IEEE 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet). 2. The universal serial bus (USB) is configured automatically. 3. If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse port, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the System Configuration Utility program. 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. The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour:minute:second. The system date is in standard format for your country. For example, in the United States, the format is MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year). Select Date and Time; then, use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to advance through each data field. Type the new information; the system saves the information as you type it. 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 the system clock time should be the same as the Advanced System Management Processor clock time, leave the value set at the default of 0. Netfinity 5600 - Type 8664 29
