While the server is turned off, move the jumper on J9 from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3. You can then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the power-on password. After you reset the password, turn off the server again and move the jumper back to pins 1 and 2.

The power-on password override switch does not affect the administrator password.

Administrator password

If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password. The Administrator Password choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an optional IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed.

Attention: If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no way to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the I/O board.

Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD includes an easy-to-use setup and installation program that is designed for your IBM server. The ServerGuide program detects the server model and hardware options that are installed and uses that information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide program simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in some cases, installing them automatically.

Note: The ServerGuide program works only with 32-bit Windows operating systems.

If a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, or you can purchase the CD. To download the image, go to the IBM ServerGuide Web page at http://www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-4ZKPPT.html.To purchase the latest ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, go to the ServerGuide fulfillment Web site at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/systems_management/ serverguide/sub.html.

The ServerGuide program has the following features to make setup easier:
