Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program
Password prompt Off mode is useful for network
environments that cause the server to operate unattended.
If a power failure occurs, when power is restored, the
server will automatically restart and resume operating in
this mode, without operator intervention.
Note: The power-on password prompt Off mode does not
support any locally or remotely scheduled
shutdowns or restarts.
Dual In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior
of the server depends on whether the server is started from
the server power switch or by an unattended method, such
as a modem or timer.
If you press the power switch to start the server, the server
operates the same as it does in password prompt On mode.
For further information, refer to the description of
password prompt On mode in this section.
If you start the server by an unattended method, such as
remotely over a LAN, the server operates in password
prompt Off mode. For further information, refer to the
description of password prompt Off mode in this section.
If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can
type either password at the password prompt that appears as you
start your server. However, if you want to change any settings in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, you must type your
administrator password at the password prompt that appears when
you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you type
your power-on password at this prompt, you will be able to view
limited information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, but
you will not be able to change any settings.
The password does not appear on the screen as you type it. If you
type the wrong password, you receive a screen message telling you
so. If you type the wrong password three times, you must turn the
server off and start again. When you type the correct password, the
keyboard and mouse will unlock, and the server will begin normal
operation.
