Updating the server configuration

When you start the server for the first time after you install or remove an internal option or external device,
you might receive a message saying that the configuration has changed. The Setup Utility program starts
automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings.

Some options have device drivers that you must install. For information about installing device drivers, see
the documentation that comes with each option.

You can obtain device drivers for operating systems that are not preinstalled at
http://www.lenovo.com/support. Installation instructions are provided in readme files with the device
driver files.

Installing security features

There are several security options available to help you prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to
your server. In addition to physical locks, you can also prevent unauthorized use of your server by a software
lock that locks the keyboard until a correct password is typed in.

Note: Make sure that any security cables you installed do not interfere with other server cables.

Integrated cable lock

An integrated cable lock, sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock, can be used to secure your server to
a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The cable lock attaches to the integrated cable lock slot at the
rear of your server and is operated with a key. The cable lock also locks the buttons used to remove the
server cover. This is the same type of lock used with many notebook computers. You can order an integrated
cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at:

Padlock

Your server is equipped with a padlock loop so that the cover cannot be removed when a padlock is installed.

Password protection

To deter unauthorized use of your server, you can use the Setup Utility program to set a password. When
you turn on your server, you are prompted to type the password. The server cannot be used until a valid
password is typed in. Refer to Chapter 6 “Configuring the server” on page 53 for more information.
