Set Power On Password:Setting a power-on password helps protect information stored in your server. You can use any combination of up to eight characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your password. The password you type is not displayed on the screen. Press Enter when you are finished; you must type the password again for verification.

If you previously had set a power-on password and wanted to remove it, select

Remove Power-On Password

.

Notes:

1.If you want to disable an installed power-on password (but not erase it) move the power-on password jumper as described in "Disabling the Power-On Password"

in the User's Guide. Moving the jumper back to the default position re-enables the power-on password, unless it has been removed in the System Management Services Utilities or by removing the battery.

2.If youforget your password, you can erase the password by shutting down the server and removing the battery for at least 30 seconds. See “Changing the Battery” on page 7-31for details.

3.The server power cable must be disconnected before removing the battery.

A password becomes effective only after the server is turned off and back on.
