Select this choice to cancel the changes that you have made in the settings and restore the factory settings. v Exit Setup Select this choice to exit from the Setup utility. If you have not saved the changes that you have made in the settings, you are asked whether you want to save the changes or exit without saving them. Using passwords Use this information to set, change, or delete a power-on password. You can set, change, and delete a power-on password and an administrator password in the Setup utility by selecting System Settings then System Security. 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 Setup Utility menu. The password must be from 6 to 20 characters. You can use any combination of ASCII printable characters 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 either by removing the blade server battery and then reinstalling it or by using the power-on password override switch (see the Problem Determination and Service Guide on the Documentation CD for instructions). An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Setup utility menu. 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 system board. Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD Use this information as an overview for using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD. The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD contains a setup and installation program that is designed for your blade server. The ServerGuide program detects the blade server model and optional hardware devices 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.
