Remote Mode: The remote mode, when enabled, allows the system to start from
the defined boot device. This mode is ideal for network servers and other system
units that operate unattended. When the remote mode is set, the icon changes to
Remote <On>.
Note: In order to use the remote mode feature for booting unattended devices, you
must enable the unattended start mode. See the “SYSTEM POWER
CONTROL MENU” on page C-12 for instructions on enabling the unattended
start mode, which allows the system unit to turn on whenever AC power is
applied to the system (instead of having the system unit wait for the power
button to be pushed).
Privileged-Access Password
The privileged-access password protects against the unauthorized starting of the
system programs. Select the Set icon to set and verify the privileged-access
password.
When you select the Set icon, a screen with 8 empty boxes appears. Type your
password in these boxes. You can use any combination of up to eight characters
(A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your password. As you type a character, a key appears in
the box.
Press Enter when you are finished; you must type the password again for
verification.
