IBM 8671 Hardware Maintenance Manual - Page 27

You can use this choice also to enable or disable the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities and Ethernet controllers, and all standard ports (serial, parallel, and so on). - The default setting is Enable for all the controllers. If you select Disable, 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 19 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 19 for more information. 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 your 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 is loaded. 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 0, and then checks a network adapter. If your server contains Wake on LAN hardware and software and your operating system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can also define a startup sequence for the Wake on LAN functions. Chapter 2.
