If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server in the
following way:
v If an administrator password is set, type the administrator password at the
password prompt. Start the Setup utility and reset the power-on password.
Administrator password: An administrator password is intended to be used by a
system administrator; it limits 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 Manager program
The Boot Manager program is a built-in, menu-driven configuration utility program
that you can use to temporarily redefine the first startup device without changing
settings in the Setup utility.
To use the Boot Manager program, complete the following steps.
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12. 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.
Note: OPROM configuration utility is only available for emulex 10G card.
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 (formerly
BIOS firmware). This is a secondary copy of the server firmware that you update
only during the process of updating the 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
J6 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 J6 jumper back to
the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
Using the integrated management module II (IMM2)
The Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) is the second generation of the
functions that were formerly provided by the Integrated Management Module (IMM).
It combines service processor functions and the video controller in a single chip.
The IMM2 supports the following basic systems-management features:
v Environmental monitor with fan speed control for temperature, voltages, fan
failure, and power supply failure. •
