v Devices and I/O Ports Select this choice to view information about, enable, or disable the integrated SCSI and Ethernet controllers. Notes: 1. The default setting is Enable for all of 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.) 2. If the integrated SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller for a mass storage device is installed, operating-system startup cannot occur. v Date and Time Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time that is sent to the Remote Supervisor Adapter when the server is started. The system time is in a 24-hour format (hour:minute:second). All fields are required. v System Security Select this choice to set or change the power-on or administrator password. See "Passwords" on page 14 for more information. The Remote Control Security Settings menu is located in System Security. This menu is used to set the Failed Login Threshold and the Automatic Lockout Delay. You can also use this menu to save, change, or delete a remote-control password. v Advanced Setup Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as memory configuration, cache control, PCI configuration, and system-management settings. - Memory Configuration Select this choice to manually enable a set, or bank, of four DIMMs used for memory mirroring and to enable memory mirroring. If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server can automatically disable the failing DIMM bank and continue operating with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually enable the DIMM bank after the problem is corrected. Use the arrow keys to highlight the bank that you want to enable. Press Enter to view detailed information about your selection; then, use the arrow keys to select Enable. - Cache Control Select this choice to enable or disable the Xcel4 cache. - PCI Slot Information Select this choice to configure and view information about the PCI-X slots and devices in your server and those located in the remote expansion enclosure, if one is attached. - System Management Settings Select this choice to set the server to restart automatically after a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) occurs. You can also enable the system to assign the memory mapped I/O (MMIO) above 4 GB. Chapter 2. Configuring the server 13
