Chapter 2. Configuring your server 19
If you set a user password, you can then enable Password on Boot. If you enable this
setting, you must type a user password when you start the server.
Setting the password check jumper: The following illustration shows the
location of the password check jumper (JP1) on the system board.
Complete the following steps to set the password check jumper:
1. Review the “Safety information” on page v.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover. See the Option Installation Guide for
instructions.
3. Move the jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3. This clears the power-on
password for one boot cycle.
You can now start the server one time without having to use the user password,
but if you do not use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change or delete
the password, the next time you start the server, the original power-on password
will be reinstated.
4. Connect the server to a power source, keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
5. Turn on the server.
You can now start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and either delete the old
password or set a new user password.
