Default jumper
position
While the server is turned off, move the jumper on J9 from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2
and 3. You can then start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the
power-on password. After you reset the password, turn off the server again and
move the jumper back to pins 1 and 2.
The power-on password override switch does not affect the administrator
password.
Administrator password
If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for
access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. You can use any combination of
up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the password. The Administrator
Password choice is on the Configuration/Setup Utility menu only if an optional IBM
Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is installed.
Attention: If you set an administrator password and then forget it, there is no way
to change, override, or remove it. You must replace the I/O board.
Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD includes an easy-to-use setup and
installation program that is designed for your IBM server. The ServerGuide program
detects the server model and hardware options that are installed and uses that
information during setup to configure the hardware. The ServerGuide program
simplifies operating-system installations by providing updated device drivers and, in
some cases, installing them automatically.
Note: The ServerGuide program works only with 32-bit Windows operating
systems.
If a later version of the ServerGuide program is available, you can download a free
image of the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, or you can purchase the CD.
