vSystem Information

Select this choice to view information about your server. When you make changes through other options in the Configuration/Setup Utility program, some of those changes are reflected in the system information; you cannot change settings directly in the system information.

This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

–Product Data

Select this choice to view the machine type and model of your server, the serial number, and the revision level or issue date of the BIOS and diagnostics code stored in electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM).

–System Card Data

Select this choice to view information about the boards installed in your server.

vDevices and I/O Ports

Select this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output (I/O) ports and to configure the remote console redirection.

Select this choice to enable or disable integrated SCSI and Ethernet controllers and all standard ports (such as the serial port). Enable is the default setting for all controllers. If you disable a device, it cannot be configured and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this is equivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable the integrated SCSI controller and no SCSI adapter is installed, the server will have no SCSI capability. If you disable the integrated Ethernet controller and no Ethernet adapter is installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability.

Select this choice to configure and enable the remote console redirection feature on the server. This feature allows the user to view POST execution, change system configuration settings, and use DOS based configuration utilities remotely. See “Remote console redirection” on page 24 for more information.

This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

vDate and Time

Select this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format (hour:minute:second).

This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

vSystem Security

Select this choice to set passwords and the Remote Control Security settings. See “Passwords” on page 25 for more information about passwords. You can also enable the chassis-intrusion detector to alert you each time the server cover is opened.

Note: In a 16-way configuration, security settings are defined through the primary server. If you bypass the 16-way configuration during start up or start the servers in a stand alone configuration, you must define the security setting on each individual server.

This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.

–Power-on Password

Select this choice to set or change a power-on password. See “Power-on password” on page 25 for more information.
