Server security
To help prevent unauthorized use of the server, the server includes security
measures that can be set in the BIOS Setup utility which establish passwords
and server lockouts.
Software locks through the BIOS Setup utility
The Security menu in the BIOS Setup utility (see “Using the BIOS Setup Utility”
on page 57) provides several security features to prevent unauthorized or
accidental access to the server. Once the security measures are enabled, access
to the server is allowed only after you enter the correct password(s).
Using passwords
If you set and enable a user password but not an administrator password, enter
the user password to boot the server with limited BIOS Setup utility access.
If you set and enable both a user and an administrator password:
■
Enter either one to boot the server.
■
Enter the administrator password for full access to the BIOS Setup utility
to change the system configuration.
