IBM B50 manual Privileged-Access Password, 6-13, Using System Management Services

Remote Mode : The remote mode, when enabled, allows the system to start from the defined boot device. This mode is ideal for network servers and other servers that operate unattended. You must set a power-on password before you can enable the remote mode. When the remote mode is set, the icon label changes toRemote <On>.

If you remove the power-on password, the remote mode is automatically reset, and the icon label returns toRemote <Off> .

Note: To use the remote mode feature for booting unattended devices, you must enable the automatic power-up feature. See theRS/6000 7046 Model B50 User's Guide for instructions on enabling the automatic power-up feature, which allows the server to turn on whenever AC power is applied to the

server (instead of having the server wait for the power button to be pushed).

Privileged-Access Password

The privileged-access password protects against the unauthorized starting of the system programs. To set the privileged-access password, you must first change a jumper on the system board. See "Enabling the Privileged-Access Password" in the RS/6000 7046 Model B50 User's Guide to locate and change the password-enabling jumper, then return here.

If the password-enabling jumper has been changed, select the Entry icon to set and verify the privileged-access password.

When you select the Entry icon, a screen with eight empty boxes displays. Type your password in these boxes. You can use any combination of up to eight characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your password. As you type a character, a key appears in the box.
