Switch block

OFF
To set the password override switch:
1. Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 45.
2.
Turn off the server/workstation and peripheral devices and disconnect all
external cables and power cords; then, remove the cover. See “Removing the
cover” on page 48.
3. Toggle switch 4 on switch block 1 on the system board. This clears the
power-on password for one boot cycle.
Note: This means that you can now start or power-up the server/workstation
one time without having to use the power-on password. But if you do
not use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change or delete the
password, the next time you start the server/workstation the original
power-on password will be reinstated.
4. Connect the server/workstation to a power source, keyboard, monitor, and
mouse.
5.
Power-up the server/workstation.
Note: You can now start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and either
delete the old or set a new power-on password.
Administrator password
Select this choice to set an administrator password. The administrator password
provides access to all choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. You
can set, change, or delete both the administrator and power-on passwords, and
allow a power-on password to be changed by the user.
Attention:
If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be
overridden or removed. You must replace the system board.
