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 you want the system clock time to be the same as the Advanced System Management Processor clock time, leave the value set at its default of 0. v System Security Select this choice to set passwords or a system owner's name. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. You can implement two levels of password protection: - Power-on Password Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See "Using passwords" on page 35 for more information. - Administrator Password Select this choice to set or change an administrator password. Attention: If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be overridden or removed. You must replace the I/O Legacy board. The administrator password provides access to all choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. You can set, change, or delete both the administrator and power-on passwords, and allow a power-on password to be changed by the user. See "Using passwords" on page 35 for more information. - System Owner's Name Select this choice to specify a system owner's name, which will display during POST. You can remove or change the name only from the System Security menu. You can use any combination of up to 16 characters for the system owner's name. v Start Options Select this choice to view or change the start options. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Start options take effect when you start the server. You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as the keyboard speed. You also can specify whether the keyboard number lock starts on or off. You also can enable the server to run without a diskette drive, monitor, or keyboard. The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the operating system loads. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk drive in bay 1, and then checks a network adapter. You also can select which PCI SCSI adapter is given boot precedence. The first drive that is attached to the selected adapter will be assigned drive number 80L and the operating system will start from that drive. The default for boot precedence is Disabled. The range of choices depends upon the number of PCI SCSI adapters installed in the server. You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master boot record at startup. You also can choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or the quick mode. v Advanced Setup Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as cache control, and PCI configuration. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Configuring the server 33
