Chapter 4. Configuring the server 31
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.
This choice also allows you to enable or disable the integrated SCSI, and Ethernet
controllers.
— The default setting is Enable for all the controllers. If you select Disable, the
system will not configure the disabled device and the operating system will
not see the device. (This is equivalent to unplugging the device.)
— If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no other storage device is
installed, operating system startup cannot occur.
Select System Service Processor Settings to view the interrupt-request setting
(IRQ) used by the Advanced System Management Processor (system service
processor). You can then use the arrow keys to select a new IRQ setting for the
Advanced System Management Processor from the list of available choices.
• Date and Time
Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time
sent to the Advanced System Management Processor (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 (Advanced System Management Processor) 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 Advanced System Management Processor 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
