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 Configuration/Setup 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 Configuration/Setup Utility program. Date and Time: Select this choice to set the system date and time. 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. The Date and Time choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. System Security: To control access to the information in the server databases, you can implement two levels of password protection. Implementing these security measures helps you to ensure the integrity of the data and programs that are stored in the server. After you set a power-on password, you can enable the unattended-start mode. This locks the keyboard and mouse, but allows the system to start the operating 28 Netfinity Server HMM
