Using passwords
The System Security choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility
menu. After you select this choice, you can set a power-on password or an
administrator password.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your
power-on password. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. If you forget
the power-on password, you can regain access to the server through either of the
following methods:
• Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and change the power-on
password.
• Change the jumper position on the CMOS jumper as described in “Clearing
CMOS” on page 15.
• If both a power-on and administrator password are set, you can type either
password at the password prompt that appears as you start your computer.
However, if you want to change any settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program, you must type your administrator password at the password prompt
that appears when you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program. If you
type your power-on password at this prompt, you will be able to view limited
information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, but you will not be able
to change any settings.
Using the SCSISelect utility program (some models)
SCSISelect is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program that you can use
to:
• View the default SCSI IDs
• Locate and correct configuration conflicts
The following sections provide the instructions for starting the SCSISelect Utility
program and descriptions of the menu choices that are available.
Note: If the server has a redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) adapter
installed, use the configuration method that is supplied with the RAID adapter
to view or change SCSI settings for attached devices.
