6 Change privileged-access password
This option allows you to change the administrator password. You must
know the current privileged-access password in order to complete the
procedure.
7 Remove privileged password
This option removes the administrator password. You must know the
current privileged-access password in order to complete the procedure.
8 Set unauthorized-access monitor
If your system is equipped with a tamper-evident cover, you can select this
option to enable or disable the unauthorized-access monitor feature. This
feature works with the privileged-access password. If both features are
enabled, the server will alert you if someone attempts to tamper with the
locked covers. If tampering is detected, the actions taken are dependent
upon the operating system. Some possible actions include halting the
system and/or displaying and logging an error message.
If this feature is set and it then gets subsequently activated by cover
tampering, on the next boot, the system will display a message and force
the operator to enter the administrator password. If this password is not
entered correctly, the system will not come up.
2.4.1.8 Test the Computer
This option is the primary method of testing the system. It can be used to test
both the internal components of the system as well as the keyboard and some
external devices. The amount of time required to test all components depends
on the number of components. The more optional adapters and devices you
have attached to the server, the longer the testing takes.
If you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by
software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is
working properly. If a hardware problem is detected, an error message appears
explaining the cause of the problem and the action to take.
Note: If you start the system programs from the reference diskette and select
this option, a message prompts you to insert the diagnostic diskette.
2.4.1.9 More Utilities Menu
When you select this option from the Main Menu, a panel similar to the one in
Figure 22 on page 33 will appear.
