v Devices and I/O PortsSelect this choice to view or change assignments for devices and input/output(I/O) ports, to configure remote console redirection, to enable or disableintegrated Ethernet controllers and all standard ports (such as serial and USB),and to view the system MAC addresses. If you disable a device, it cannot beconfigured, and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this isequivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable the integrated Ethernetcontrollers and no Ethernet adapter is installed, the server will have no Ethernetcapability.For a SATA model, you can also select this choice to view or change theinterface mode for a SATA port. To view or change the mode, selectProgramming Interface for a SATA Port.– Native mode: Standard PCI resource steering is used.– Combined mode: Native mode plus legacy mode is used. In legacy mode,standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources (IRQ 14 and 15) are assigned.This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.v Date and TimeSelect this choice to set the date and time in the server, in 24-hour format(hour:minute:second).This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.v System SecuritySelect this choice to set passwords. For more information about passwords, see“Passwords” on page 48.This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.– Administrator PasswordSelect this choice to set or change an administrator password. Anadministrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; itlimits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If an administratorpassword is set, the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu is available only ifyou type the administrator password at the password prompt. For moreinformation, see “Administrator password” on page 49.– Power-on PasswordSelect this choice to set or change a power-on password. For moreinformation, see “Power-on password” on page 48.v Startup OptionsSelect this choice to view or change the startup options, such as the startupsequence, the keyboard NumLock state, the option ROM execution priorities,whether displayless operation is enabled, whether to restart on POST/BIOS error,and other startup considerations. You can also select this choice to enable ordisable hard disk drive self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology(SMART). Changes in the startup options take effect when you restart the server.Select the option ROM execution-priority choices (Planar PXE/DHCP Priorityand PCI Device Boot Priority) to specify the sequence in which channels arechecked during startup to load and execute the ROMs for optional devices. Thisenables you to tailor the ROM load-and-execution sequence for maximumefficiency. Planar PXE/DHCP Priority specifies the priority of network-relatedROMs relative to local PCI device ROMs; PCI Device Boot Priority specifies thepriority of ROMs for devices connected to the SAS/SATA controller on the systemboard and to adapters in expansion slots 1 and 2.The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices tofind a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. ForChapter 3. Configuring the server 45
