System Security menu contains the Power-on Password choice. Start Options: 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 or a monitor. 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. Attention: If the CD-ROM drive contains a startable CD, you must remove the CD if you want to use a startup sequence that begins with a startable diskette. 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. Select Start Options; then, use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to advance through each data field. The Start Options choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Advanced Setup: Select Advanced Setup to change values for advanced hardware features, such as cache control, and PCI configuration. A warning message displays above the choices on this menu, to alert you that the system might malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully. Use the Left Arrow (←) or Right Arrow (→) key to scroll through each data field after you select one of the setup options. The Advanced Setup choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. ACPI Control: Select this choice to enable or disable the advanced configuration and power-management interface (ACPI) in the BIOS. You can choose to change the ACPI hardware signature or select an IRQ for ACPI. ACPI allows the operating system to place some server components into a reduced-power state during periods of low activity. You must have a BIOS level that supports ACPI to have this control option. If ACPI it enabled, you 32 Netfinity Server HMM
