Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server
components.
• Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change the assignments for devices and input/output
ports. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main
menu.
• Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time
sent to the Advanced System Management Processor (service processor) when the
server is started. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility
main menu.
The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour:minute:second.
You can set a time delta to be added or subtracted from the system time that is
sent to the service processor (Advanced System Management Processor) each
time the server is started. Use the number keys to enter the hours and minutes
and + or
−
to add or subtract from the system time. If you want the system clock
time to be the same as the Advanced System Management Processor clock time,
leave the value set at its default of 0.

Select this choice to set passwords or a system owner’s name. This choice appears
only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
You can implement two levels of password protection:

passwords” on page 48 for more information.
