Notes:
1. Before changing any switch settings or moving any jumpers, turn off the
server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
2. Any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in the
illustrations in this book are reserved.
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. You can use
any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your power-on
password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place.
Attention: If an administrator password is set and then forgotten, it cannot be
overridden or removed. You must replace the system board.
The following table provides a summary of the password features.
Using the SCSISelect utility program

• Locate and correct configuration conflicts
The following sections provide instructions for starting the SCSISelect Utility program
and descriptions of the menu choices that are available.
Note: If your server has a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) adapter
installed, use the configuration method that is supplied with the RAID adapter
to view or change SCSI settings for devices attached to the adapter.
