System administration and control
129
Control access to the
system other than
BIOS Setup (set user
password)
To control access to the system, set a user password and enable
the Password on Boot option using the BIOS Setup utility.
Once set, passwords can be disabled by deleting the password
or by changing the Password Clear jumper. See “Password Clear
jumper” on page 115.
Boot without keyboard The server can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST and
before the server boots, the BIOS automatically detects and tests
the keyboard, if present, and displays a message. Do not plug in
a keyboard while the server is on.
Specify the boot
sequence
The sequence you specify in the BIOS determines the boot order
(see “About the BIOS Setup utility” on page 111). If secure mode
is enabled (user password is set), you are prompted for a
password before the server boots fully. If secure mode is enabled
and the Secure Mode Boot option is also enabled, the server boots
fully but requires a password before accepting any keyboard or
mouse input.
