Table 2. Power-on and administrator password features (continued) Type of password Features Administrator and power-on password v You can type either password to complete the system startup. v 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. v The power-on password provides access to a limited set of choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. This limited access might include changing or deleting the power-on password. Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program LSI Logic Configuration is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use to: v Perform a low-level format of a SCSI hard disk drive v Set a SCSI device scan order v Set a SCSI ID for a controller Notes: 1. The integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities in your server supports only RAID level-1. Installing an optional ServeRAID-5i controller provides additional RAID levels. However, if a ServeRAID-5i controller is installed and later removed, you must re-enable the on-board SCSI controller in using the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see "Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 15). See "Using ServeRAID Manager" on page 25 for information on configuring your server for RAID operation. 2. If you install a different type of RAID adapter in your server, use the configuration method supplied with the RAID adapter to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices. The following sections provide the instructions needed to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program and to format a SCSI hard disk drive. Starting the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program Complete the following steps to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program: 1. Turn on the server. 2. When the > prompt appears, press Ctrl+C. Note: If an administrator password has been set, you are prompted to type the password to start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program. 3. Use the arrow keys to select a controller (channel) from the list of adapters; then, press Enter. 4. Follow the instructions on the resulting screen to change the settings of the selected items; then, press Enter. The Device Properties and Mirroring Properties choices produce additional screens of parameters to review or change. Chapter 2. Configuration 21
