This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.

￿6￿ Change privileged-access password

This option allows you to change the administrator password. You must know the current privileged-access password in order to complete the procedure.

￿7￿ Remove privileged password

This option removes the administrator password. You must know the current privileged-access password in order to complete the procedure.

￿8￿ Set unauthorized-access monitor

If your system is equipped with a tamper-evident cover, you can select this option to enable or disable the unauthorized-access monitor feature. This feature works with the privileged-access password. If both features are enabled, the server will alert you if someone attempts to tamper with the locked covers. If tampering is detected, the actions taken are dependent upon the operating system. Some possible actions include halting the system and/or displaying and logging an error message.

If this feature is set and it then gets subsequently activated by cover tampering, on the next boot, the system will display a message and force the operator to enter the administrator password. If this password is not entered correctly, the system will not come up.

2.4.1.8 Test the Computer

This option is the primary method of testing the system. It can be used to test both the internal components of the system as well as the keyboard and some external devices. The amount of time required to test all components depends on the number of components. The more optional adapters and devices you have attached to the server, the longer the testing takes.

If you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is working properly. If a hardware problem is detected, an error message appears explaining the cause of the problem and the action to take.

Note: If you start the system programs from the reference diskette and select this option, a message prompts you to insert the diagnostic diskette.

2.4.1.9 More Utilities Menu

When you select this option from the Main Menu, a panel similar to the one in Figure 22 on page 33 will appear.
