password” on page 18 for more information.
— Administrator Password
Select this choice to set or change an administrator password.
Attention: If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be
overridden or removed. You must have an IBM service technician replace the
operator information panel card.
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.
See “Administrator password” on page 19 for more information.
— Remote Control Security Settings
Select this choice to set the password for remote access to the server. You
can set the number of failed logins before the server cuts off access. See
“Remote-control security settings” on page 20 for more information.
• Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options. This choice appears only
on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu. Start options take effect when
you start the server.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such as whether the keyboard
number lock starts on or off, and the keyboard speed. You also can enable the
server to run without a diskette drive, display, or keyboard.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the device from which the
operating system starts. For example, you can define a startup sequence that
checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks the hard disk
drive in bay 1, and then checks a network adapter.
— USB Legacy

operating system. The supported environments are DOS and System Setup.
Note that if a PS/2 keyboard is detected, the USB Legacy operation will be
disabled regardless of the value of this setting.

If you enable this option, you can restore the BIOS system defaults after three
consecutive boot failures. If this option is disabled, the BIOS system defaults
can be loaded only from the Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
— Virus Detection
If you enable this option, a virus-detection test checks for changes in the
master boot record at startup.
• Advanced Setup

cache control, and PCI/PCI-X configuration. This choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
