Notes 1. When you configure the parallel port as bidirectional, use an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1284-compliant cable. The maximum length of the cable must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet). 2. If you install a Universal Serial Bus (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. 3. Check the operating system documentation to see if the operating system supports USB devices. 4. If the operating system supports USB devices, the USB is configured automatically. 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 the 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 system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the correct password. The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. After you set a power-on or administrator password, you must enter the password when you turn on the server. (The passwords do not appear on the screen as you type them.) 24 Netfinity Server HMM
