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 47 for more
information.
– System Owner’s Name
Select this choice to specify a system owner’s name,
which will display during POST. You can remove or
change the name only from the System Security
menu. You can use any combination of up to 16
characters for the system owner’s name.
v Start Options
Select this choice to view or change the start options.
This choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup
Utility main menu. Start options take effect when you
start your server.
You can select keyboard operating characteristics, such
as the keyboard speed. You also can specify whether
the keyboard number lock starts on or off. You also can
enable the server to run without a diskette drive,
monitor, or keyboard.
The server uses a startup sequence to determine the
device from which the operating system loads. For
example, you can define a startup sequence that checks
for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then checks
the hard disk drive in bay 1, and then checks a network
adapter.
You also can select which PCI SCSI adapter is given
boot precedence. The first drive that is attached to the
selected adapter will be assigned drive number 80L and
the operating system will start from that drive. The
default for boot precedence is Disabled. The range of
choices depends upon the number of PCI SCSI
adapters installed in the server.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for
changes in the master boot record at startup. You also
can choose to run POST in the enhanced mode or the
quick mode.
v
Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change values for advanced
hardware features, such as cache control, and PCI
