- Power-on Password Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See "Power-on password" on page 138 for more information. - Administrator Password Attention: If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no way to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the I/O board. Select this choice to set or change an administrator password. An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If an administrator password is set, the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available only if you type the administrator password at the password prompt. See "Administrator password" on page 139 for more information. This choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed. 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. You can enable the server to run without a diskette drive, monitor, or keyboard. 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. If the server has Wake on LAN hardware and software and the operating system supports Wake on LAN functions, you can specify a startup sequence for the Wake on LAN functions. If you enable the boot fail count, the BIOS default settings will be restored after three consecutive failures to find a boot record. You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the boot record when the server starts. You can enable the use of a USB keyboard in a DOS or System Setup environment. If a PS/2 keyboard is detected, the USB legacy operation will be disabled. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. v Advanced Setup Select this choice to change settings for advanced hardware features. Important: The server might malfunction if these options are incorrectly configured. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully. This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only. - System Partition Visibility Select this choice to specify whether the system partition is visible or hidden. - Memory Settings Select this choice to manually enable a pair of memory connectors. If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server automatically disables the failing pair of memory connectors and continues operating with reduced memory. After the problem is corrected, you must manually enable the memory connectors. Use the arrow keys to highlight the pair of memory connectors that you want to enable, and use the arrow keys to select Enable. - CPU Options 136 IBM xSeries 460 Type 8872 and xSeries MXE 460 Type 8874: Problem Determination and Service Guide
