Setting the Admin Password

The Admin Password button lets you set or change the admin password used by both the SSU and the system BIOS. This option is not available if both an admin and a user password are set and you entered only the user password when you started the SSU. All changes to the admin password take effect immediately.

To change or clear the administrator password:

1.From the SSU Main window, choose Security.

2.Click the Admin Password button.

3.If you are changing passwords, enter the old password.

4.Enter the new password (or leave blank to clear).

5.Confirm the password by entering it again (or leave blank to clear).

6.Click OK to save the password and return to the Security window.

Setting the User Password

The User Password button lets you set or change the user password used by both the SSU and the system BIOS. All changes to the user password take effect immediately.

To change or clear the user password:

1.From the SSU Main window, choose Security.

2.Click the User Password button.

3.If you are changing passwords, enter the old password in the first box.

4.Enter the new password (or leave blank to clear).

5.Confirm the password by entering it again (or leave blank to clear).

6.Click OK to save the password and return to the Security window.

Setting Security Options

For a description of security features, see page 19.

To set the security options:

1.In the Security window, click the Options button.

2.For each option, select the desired setting from the list. The options are:

Security Hot Key: The key combination that can be used to put the server into secure mode.

Secure Mode Timer: If no keyboard or mouse activity occurs during the chosen time interval, the server enters secure mode.

Secure Mode Boot: Enable forces the server to boot directly into secure mode.

Video Blanking: Enable turns off the video when the server is in secure mode.

Floppy Write: Enable prevents writing to the diskette drive while the server is in secure mode.

Power Switch Inhibit: Enable prevents the power and reset buttons from functioning when the server is in secure mode. Disable allows the power and reset buttons to function normally when the server is in secure mode.

3.Click Save to save the settings and return to the Security window.

SHG2 specifications

Intel SHG2, short for Server High-Performance GPU 2, represents a significant evolution in graphics technology designed to meet the demanding requirements of data centers and high-performance computing applications. Developed to support a range of workloads, SHG2 is particularly optimized for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics.

One of the defining features of the Intel SHG2 is its impressive processing power. With numerous cores capable of parallel processing, it can execute multiple tasks simultaneously, leading to faster computation times. This architecture makes it incredibly efficient for applications that require heavy calculations and real-time data processing.

The SHG2 also embraces advanced fabrication technologies, moving to smaller nodes that enhance power efficiency while delivering higher performance. These innovations not only allow for improved thermal management but also contribute to the reduction of overall energy consumption, making the SHG2 a more environmentally friendly choice for server operations.

In terms of memory support, the SHG2 offers a robust configuration, accommodating high-bandwidth memory (HBM) that ensures quick access to critical data. This feature is essential for applications needing rapid data retrieval and integration, such as deep learning models where every millisecond counts.

Moreover, the SHG2 is built with compatibility in mind. It integrates seamlessly with existing Intel architectures, allowing organizations to leverage their current investments while upgrading their processing capabilities. This compatibility makes it easier for businesses to enhance their infrastructure without undergoing a complete overhaul of their systems.

Another salient characteristic of the Intel SHG2 is its support for virtualization. This allows multiple workloads to be handled simultaneously on a single GPU, maximizing resource utilization and enhancing overall system performance. As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-based solutions, the ability to virtualize GPU resources becomes critical.

Security is also a major consideration in the design of the SHG2. Intel has incorporated various security features to ensure that data is protected against unauthorized access and vulnerabilities that could threaten system integrity.

As businesses increasingly turn to AI and machine learning to drive innovation, the Intel SHG2 positions itself as an essential tool for those looking to harness the power of advanced computing. With its impressive features, powerful performance, and forward-thinking design, is a strategic choice for organizations aiming to enhance their computational capabilities and meet the challenges of tomorrow's technological landscape.
