Description

 

 

Setup Password

Restricts access to the System Setup program in the same way that

 

you restrict access to your system using the System Password

 

feature.

 

NOTE: See "Using the System Password" on page 51 for instructions

 

on assigning a setup password and using or changing an existing

 

setup password.

 

 

Password Status

Setting the Setup Password option to Enabled prevents the system

 

password from being changed or disabled at start-up.

 

To lock the system password, assign a setup password in the Setup

 

Password option and then change the Password Status option to

 

Locked. In this state, you cannot change the system password

 

using the System Password option and the system password cannot

 

be disabled at start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>.

 

To unlock the system password, enter the setup password in the

 

Setup Password field and then change the Password Status option

 

to Unlocked. In this state, you can disable the system password at

 

start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter> and then change the

 

password using the System Password option.

 

 

Power Button

Enables or disables the server module’s power button.

 

• If you turn off the server module using the power button and you

 

are using an ACPI-compliant operating system, the server module

 

can perform an orderly shutdown before power is turned off.

 

• If the server module is not running an ACPI-compliant operating

 

system, power is turned off immediately after the power button is

 

pressed.

 

The button is enabled in the System Setup program. When

 

disabled, the button can only turn on server module power.

 

 

AC Power Recovery

Determines how the server module reacts when power is restored.

(Last default)

If the option is set to Last, the server module returns to the last

 

power state. On turns on the server module after power is restored.

 

When set to Off, the server module remains off after power is

 

restored.
