— System Card Data
Select this choice to view vital product data (VPD) for some server
components.
• Product Data
Select this choice to view system information, such as the machine type and
model, the server serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS
code stored in the flash electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM).
• Devices and I/O Ports
Select this choice to view or change the assignments for devices and input/output
ports.
• Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time when the server is started.
The system time is in a 24-hour format: hour:minute:second.
• System Security
Select this choice to set passwords or the Remote Control Security settings. 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 15 for more information.
— Remote Control Security Settings
Use this option to set the password for remote access to the server. You can
set the number of failed logins before the server cuts off access.
• 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 takes 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.
— Server Startup Sequence
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.
— Wake on LAN
If you have the appropriate Wake on LAN software installed and enabled, the
server uses the alternative startup sequence instead of the primary startup
sequence. The default Wake on LAN setting is Disabled.
You can select the order in which the devices are started at the Boot Priority
option. The default setting is PCI slots, which allocates memory in the
following order:
1. Integrated Video Controller
2. PXE Boot Agent Utility
3. PCI Slot 1
4. PCI Slot 2
5. PCI Slot 3
6. PCI Slot 4
