Remote Mode: The remote mode, when enabled, allows the system to start from
the defined boot device. This mode is ideal for network servers and other servers
that operate unattended. You must set a power-on password before you can enable
the remote mode. When the remote mode is set, the icon label changes to Remote
<On>.
If you remove the power-on password, the remote mode is automatically reset, and
the icon label returns to Remote <Off>.
Note: To use the remote mode feature for booting unattended devices, you must
enable the automatic power-up feature. See the RS/6000 7046 Model B50
User's Guide for instructions on enabling the automatic power-up feature,
which allows the server to turn on whenever AC power is applied to the
server (instead of having the server wait for the power button to be pushed).
Privileged-Access Password
The privileged-access password protects against the unauthorized starting of the
system programs. To set the privileged-access password, you must first change a
jumper on the system board. See "Enabling the Privileged-Access Password" in the
RS/6000 7046 Model B50 User's Guide to locate and change the password-enabling
jumper, then return here.
If the password-enabling jumper has been changed, select the Entry icon to set and
verify the privileged-access password.
When you select the Entry icon, a screen with eight empty boxes displays. Type
your password in these boxes. You can use any combination of up to eight
characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your password. As you type a character, a key
appears in the box.
