v System Information Select this choice to display information about your server. Changes that you make on other menus might appear on this summary screen. You cannot edit any fields. The System Information choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. - Product Data Select this choice to view system information, such as the machine type and model, the server serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS and diagnostics code stored in the electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM). v Devices and I/O Ports Select this choice to view or change the assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. You can use this choice also to enable or disable the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and Ethernet controllers, and standard ports (serial, parallel, and so on). - The default setting is Enabled for all the controllers you can control from this menu. If you select Disabled, the system will not configure the disabled device and the operating system will not detect the device. (This is equivalent to unplugging the device.) - If the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities is disabled and no SCSI adapter is installed, the server will have no SCSI capability. - If the on-board Ethernet controller is disabled and no Ethernet adapter is installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability. v Date and Time Select this choice to set the system date and time. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. The system time is in a 24-hour format (hour:minute:second). v System Security Select this choice to set passwords or the Remote Control Security settings. 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 20 for more information. - Administrator Password Attention: If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be overridden or removed. You must replace the system board. Note: This choice is available on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if the optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed in your server. Select this choice to set or change an administrator password. 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 20 for more information. Chapter 2.
