SBXL52: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
Using passwords
From the
System Security
choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password.
Power-on password
If you set a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the system
startup, and you 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:
•
Remove the blade server battery, wait 15 minutes, then reinstall the battery.
•
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 need to move the switch back to the previous position after the password
is overridden. See “Switches and jumpers” on page 31 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 SBCE unit to access the switches.
Using the PXE boot agent utility program

Select a power management option
NOTE
The RPL selection for the boot protocol option is not supported for this server.
