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.
4.1.2 Using passwords
Use this information to set, change, or delete a power-on password.
You can set, change, and delete a power-on password in the Setup/Configuration 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 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 in 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
Resource DVD for instructions).
4.2 Installing the operating system
If you have already configured the blade server hardware, download the latest operating-
system installation instructions from the Bull Support Web site:
http://www.bull.com/support/ .
4.3 Using the PXE boot agent utility program
Use the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) boot agent utility program to select the boot
protocol and other boot options and to select a power-management option.
Notes
•
The blade server does not support Remote Program Load (RPL) selection for the boot
protocol option.
•
Enabling PXE might reduce the number of optional expansion modules that your blade
server can manage.
