v Date and Time Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format (hour:minute:second). This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. v System Security Select this choice to set passwords. See "Passwords" on page 15 for more information. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. - User Password Select this choice to set or change a user password. See "User password" on page 15 for more information. - Supervisor Password This choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II is installed. Select this choice to set or change a supervisor password. A supervisor password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If a supervisor password is set, the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available only if you type the supervisor password at the password prompt. See "Supervisor password" on page 16 for more information. v Start Options Select this choice to view or change the start options. Changes in the start options take effect when you restart the server. You can specify whether the server starts with the keyboard number lock on or off, whether it uses a streamlined startup process (Quickboot mode), and whether it displays diagnostic screens during startup (Boot Diagnostic Screen). The diagnostic screens show the memory count and devices found, as well as any errors encountered. You can enable or disable legacy USB support (legacy USB support enables a non-USB-aware operating system such as DOS or UNIX to recognize the USB keyboard and mouse). The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. You can select up to four startup devices through the Startup Sequence menu. If you enable the boot fail count, the BIOS default settings will be restored after three consecutive failures to find a boot record. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. v Advanced Setup Select this choice to change settings for advanced hardware features. You can also select this choice to view the system event log information, such as the record, event type, and timestamp. Important: The server might malfunction if these options are incorrectly configured. Follow the instructions on the window carefully. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. - Chipset Configuration Select this choice to view and change the 4GB Memory Hole Adjust and 4GB Memory Hole Size settings. You can only change the 4GB Memory Hole Size value if the 4GB Memory Hole Adjust value is set to Manual. Also select Chipset Configuration to enable or disable other memory configuration values, such as ECC and ECC Sdram. Chapter 2. Configuring the server 13
