Configuring the server
31
Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server
components.
• Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change the assignments for devices and input/output
ports. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main
menu.
• Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time
sent to the Configuration/Setup Utility (service processor) when the server is
started. This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main
menu.
The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour:minute:second.
You can set a time delta to be added or subtracted from the system time that is
sent to the service processor (Configuration/Setup Utility) each time the server is
started. Use the number keys to enter the hours and minutes and + or
−
to add or
subtract from the system time. If you want the system clock time to be the same as
the Configuration/Setup Utility clock time, leave the value set at its default of 0.
• System Security
Select this choice to set passwords or a system owner’s name. This choice appears
only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
You can implement two levels of password protection:
— Power-on Password
Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See “Using
passwords” on page 34 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 replace the system board.
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 “Using passwords” on page 34 for more information.
