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 Setup utility menu. You can use any combination of between six
and 20 printable ASCII characters for the password.
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 system board.
Using the Boot Selection Menu program
The Boot Selection Menu is used to temporarily redefine the first startup device
without changing boot options or settings in the Setup utility.
To use the Boot Selection Menu program, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. Press F12 (
Select Boot Device
). If a bootable USB mass storage device is
installed, a submenu item (
USB Key/Disk
) is displayed.
4. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to select an item from the
Boot
Selection Menu
and press Enter.
The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the
Setup utility.
Starting the backup server firmware
The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. This is a
secondary copy of server firmware that you update only during the process of
updating server firmware. If the primary copy of the server firmware becomes
damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the
UEFI boot recovery J29 jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3).
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After
the primary copy is restored, turn off the server; then, move the UEFI boot recovery
J29 jumper back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD
The
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD contains a setup and installation
program that is designed for your server. The ServerGuide program detects the
server model and optional hardware devices 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.
