This option allows you to change the administrator password. You must
know the current privileged-access password in order to complete the
procedure.

g. Remove privileged password

This option removes the administrator password. You must know the
current privileged-access password in order to complete the procedure.

h. Set unauthorized-access monitor

If your system is equipped with a tamper-evident cover, you can select
this option to enable or disable the unauthorized-access monitor feature.
This feature works with the privileged-access password. If both features
are enabled, the server will alert you if someone attempts to tamper with
the locked covers. If tampering is detected, the actions taken are
dependent upon the operating system. Some possible actions include
halting the system and/or displaying and logging an error message.

If this feature is set and it then gets subsequently activated by cover
tampering, on the next boot, the system will display a message and force
the operator to enter the administrator password. If this password is not
entered correctly, the system will not come up.

3. Set keyboard speed

This changes the speed at which characters respond when you type. There
are two options:

Normal keyboard

The normal keyboard speed displays the character on the screen at the
rate of 10 characters per second.

Fast keyboard

The fast keyboard speed displays the character on the screen at the rate
of 30 characters per second.

4. Set console

This changes the server console. The server console is the hardware that
you use to communicate with your server. There are three options for this
setting:

a. Display and keyboard

Select this option if you want to use a display and keyboard as the
server console. Errors will occur when the server is turned on if the
display or the keyboard is not attached.

b. Display only

Select this option if you want to use a display without a keyboard as the
server console.

c. No console

Select this option if you want to use the server without a system console.
If you select this option, you can remove the monitor, the keyboard, and
any attached ASCII terminal and the system will still come up without the
errors normally associated with a missing keyboard or missing monitor.

5. Set startup sequence
