Table 3. Software Security Features (continued)
Feature Description
Control access to the
system other than
SSU: set user
password.
To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through
Setup or the SSU.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change
Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security
Subsystem Group.
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear
Password jumper (see Chapter 5).
Boot without keyboard. The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the system
completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the
keyboard if it is present and displays a message. There is no entry in the SSU to
enable or disable a keyboard.
Specify the boot
sequence. The sequence that you specify on the menu in the SSU MultiBoot Group will
determine the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (a user password is set), then
you will be prompted for a password before the server fully boots. If secure mode is
enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot
but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.
Checking the Power Cords
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify or use AC power cords that are not the exact
type required.
In some cases the power cord supplied with this system may not be compatible with the AC wall
outlet in your region. If this is true, you must obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following
criteria:
• The cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a current rating that is at least
125% of the current rating of the server.
• The AC plug end that plugs into the wall outlet must be terminated in a grounding-type plug
designed for use in your region. The plug ends must be labeled or marked to indicate an
acceptable certifier in your region has certified them.
• The connector that plugs into the AC inlet on the server must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, female
type connector.
• For use in Europe, the cord must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long, and it must be
flexible <HAR> (harmonized) or VDE certified cordage.
