Using the Configuration/Setup Utility
You can configure the IDE channel (enabled or disabled) and view the IDE Primary
Master Device (type, size, transfer selection and mode, and logical block
addressing (LBA) mode).
To display or change the port assignments:
1. Select Devices and I/O Ports.
2. Select a device or port; then, use the Left Arrow (
←
) or Right Arrow (
→
) key to
advance through the settings available.
Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time.
The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour/minute/second. The system date is
in standard format for your country. For example, in the United States, the format
is MM/DD/YYYY (Month/Day/Year).
Select Date and Time; then, use the Left Arrow (
←
) or Right Arrow (
→
) key to
advance through each data field. Type the new information; the system saves the
information as you type it.
System Security
To control access to the information in your server, you can implement security
features, such as adding passwords and defining a system owner's name that
displays during startup. Implementing these security measures helps you to ensure
the integrity of the data and programs that are stored in your server.
Note: The default values for all security-related data fields are given in Table 14
on page 164 and following.
After setting a power-on password, you can enable the unattended-start mode.
This locks the keyboard and mouse, but allows the server to start the operating
system. The keyboard and mouse remain locked until you enter the correct
password.
To set, change, or delete a password:
1. Select System Security.
2. Select the password that you want to change.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
After you have set a power-on or administrator password, you must enter the
password whenever you turn on the server. (The passwords do not appear on the
screen as you type them.)
