Date and Time
If you select Date and Time from the Configuration/Setup Utility
main menu, you can view and change the date and time of the
internal clock in your server.
Date and Time Descriptions
Time Time shows the time in a 12- or 24-hour format. In a 24-hour
12 midnight is 00:00:00; 12 noon is 12:00:00; 1 p.m. is 13:00:00.
Date Date displays the set date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
Note: Different countries have different date formats.
System Security
If you select System Security from the Configuration/Setup Utility
main menu, you can view and, in some cases, change the system
security settings for your server. You can use this menu to control
access to the hard disk and diskette drives. You can also set,
change, and delete power-on and administrator passwords.
System Security Descriptions
Enhanced Security If your model has the Enhanced Security feature, this option on
the System Security menu shows the current setting for
enhanced security. Enhanced security can be enabled or
disabled only when you update system programs, as further
explained under “Enabling and disabling enhanced security” on
page 52.
Enhanced security provides extra protection for your
administrator password and startup (boot) sequence settings.
When enhanced security is enabled, your administrator
password and startup sequence are stored in a
highly-protected, nonvolatile, security EEPROM module that is
separate from CMOS memory and the EEPROM module that
stores system programs. When your administrator password
and startup sequence are locked in the security EEPROM, they
remain intact even if the battery in your server expires or is
removed by someone.
