v Load Default Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the factory settings. v Exit Setup Select this choice to exit from the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you have not saved the changes you have made in the settings, you are asked whether you want to save the changes or exit without saving them. Using passwords From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password. If you set a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the system startup and to have access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9) for the password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the blade server through one of the following methods: v Remove the blade server battery and then reinstall it (see "Replacing the battery" on page 33). v Change the position of the power-on password override switch (switch 8 on switch block 2 on the system board) to bypass the power-on password check the next time the blade server is turned on. You can then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on password. You do not have to move the switch back to the previous position after the password is overridden. See "Switches and jumpers" on page 13 for the location of switch block 2. Note: Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the BladeCenter unit to access the switches. Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD includes an easy-to-use setup and installation program that is designed for your IBM blade server. The ServerGuide program detects the blade server model and hardware options that are installed and uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide program simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically. Note: The ServerGuide program works only with 32-bit Windows operating systems. If a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, or you can purchase the CD. To download the image, go to the IBM ServerGuide Web page at http://www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-4ZKPPT.html.
