Attention
If enhanced security is enabled, and you forget or lose
the administrator password, you must replace the
system board in the server to regain access to the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
If enhanced security is enabled and you have set an
administrator password, the server will operate as follows:
The security EEPROM is protected from unauthorized
access once the startup procedures are complete.
With enhanced security disabled, the contents of the
EEPROM are write protected.
With enhanced security enabled, the POST/BIOS
utility program will not allow updates to the system
programs.
If the cover of the server has been removed, a
tamper-detection feature will halt system processing
and deny access to the keyboard and mouse until the
administrator password is entered. This feature will
work if the server is powered on or off.
To enable or disable enhanced security:
Note
Enhanced security can be enabled or disabled only
when you update the system programs in the server.
1. Insert a system programs update diskette in the
server. System programs updates are available on
the World Wide Web. To obtain up-to-date
information about the server model, access the home
page for the server at the following address:
http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/server/
2. Turn on the server. If it is already turned on, you
must turn it off and back on again.
3. The update begins, and the system prompts you for
the administrator password, if you have set an
administrator password.
4. When you enter the administrator password, the
update diskette will continue to run, and you are given
the option of enabling or disabling enhanced security.
To set, change, or delete an administrator password
protected by enhanced security:
1. Power-off all attached devices and the server.
2. Remove the server cover.
3. Locate the switch marked as 7 on the rocker switches
section of the system board. See “Administrator
Password Switch” on page 53 for the location of the
switch. Move the switch to the ON position.
