mouse connected to the mouse port, it also will remain
locked.
Although you are not prompted to type a password in
this mode, you can type either your power-on or
administrator password anytime after POST has
completed, even after the operating system has loaded.
If you type a password, the keyboard will unlock, but the
mouse connected to the mouse port will remain disabled.
If a power failure occurs, the server will automatically
restart and resume operating in this mode when power is
restored, without operator intervention.
Note: The password prompt Off mode does not support
any locally or remotely scheduled shutdowns or
restarts. Therefore, do not use a power-on
wakeup or lockout function.
Dual In the password prompt Dual mode, the startup behavior
of the server depends on whether the computer is started
from the computer power switch or by an unattended
method, such as a modem or timer.
If you start the server by using the power switch, the
computer operates the same as it does in password
prompt On mode. Refer to page 42 for further
information.
If the server is started by an unattended method, such as
remotely over a LAN, the server operates the same as it
does in password prompt Off mode. Refer to page 43 for
further information.
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.
