This choice appears on both the full and limited Configuration/Setup Utility menus.

vSystem Information

Select this choice to display information about your server. Changes that you make on other menus might appear on this summary screen. You cannot edit any fields. The System Information choice appears only on the full Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.

–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 that is stored in the flash electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM).

vDevices and I/O Ports

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.

You can use this choice to enable or disable the integrated SCSI, video, 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 detect the device. (This is equivalent to unplugging the device.)

–If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no other controller and mass storage device are installed, operating-system startup cannot occur.

–If the video controller is disabled and no video adapter is installed, the server will have no video capability.

Select System Service Processor Settings to view the interrupt-request setting (IRQ) that is used by the ISMP (service processor). You can then use the arrow keys to select a new IRQ setting for the ISMP from the list of available choices.

vDate and Time

Select this choice to set the system date and time and to change the system time that is sent to the ISMP (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).

vSystem 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 19 for more information.

–Administrator Password

If an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter is installed in the server, you can also set the administrator password and the remote-control 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 Remote Supervisor Adapter in PCI slot 1.
