Dell PowerEdge R720xd User Manual

Operating With A Setup Password Enabled
If Setup Password is Enabled, enter the correct setup password before modifying most of the System Setup options.
If you do not enter the correct password in three attempts, the system displays the message
Invalid Password! Number of unsuccessful password attempts: <x> System Halted!
Must power down.
Even after you shut down and restart the system, the error message is displayed until the correct password is entered.
The following options are exceptions:
• If System Password is not Enabled and is not locked through the Password Status option, you can assign a
system password.
• You cannot disable or change an existing system password.
NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup Password option to protect the
system password from unauthorized changes.
Entering The UEFI Boot Manager
NOTE: Operating systems must be 64-bit UEFI-compatible (for example, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64
version) to be installed from the UEFI boot mode. DOS and 32-bit operating systems can only be installed from the
BIOS boot mode.

• Add, delete, and arrange boot options
• Access System Setup and BIOS-level boot options without rebooting
To enter the Boot Manager:
1. Turn on or restart your system.
2. Press <F11> after you see the following message:

If your operating system begins to load before you press <F11>, allow the system to finish booting, and then restart
your system and try again.
