Remember to clean your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth moistened with a nonabrasive liquid glass cleaner.
Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server This chapter provides information about the configuration and utility programs that come with your server. The configuration programs are part of the basic input/output system ( BIOS ) that comes with your server.
Configuration Overview Configuration Overview You play a key role in how your server allocates resources to organize and interconnect hardware devices and software programs. This allocation process is referred to as configuration . The steps required to configure your server depend on the number and types of devices and programs that you install.
The Configuration/Setup Utility 6. Resolve configuration conflicts. See “Resolving Configuration Conflicts” on page 30. The Configuration/Setup Utility For most configurations, the server will operate using the default system settings.
Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Using the Configuration/Setup Utility From the Configuration/Setup Utility program main menu you can select settings you want to change.
Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Product Data Select this choice to view system information such as the machine type and model, the system serial number, the system board identifier, and the revision level or issue date of the flash electronically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM) and BIOS.
Using the Configuration/Setup Utility You can configure the IDE channel (enabled or disabled) and view the IDE Primary Master Device (type, size, transfer selection and mode, and logical block addressing (LBA) mode). To display or change the port assignments: 1.
Using the Configuration/Setup Utility Type of Password Results No password set No password required to start system. You can access all choices on the Configuration/Setup Utility program main menu. Power-on password only You must enter the password to complete the system startup.
Using the Configuration/Setup Utility When a power-on password is set, POST does not complete until you enter the password. If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server thr.
