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 6 to 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
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.
About this task
To use the Boot Manager program, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Turn off the server.
2. Restart the server.
3. When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12.
4. Use the Up arrow and Down arrow keys to select an item from the menu and
press Enter.
Results
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 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 UEFI boot backup jumper (JP2) in the backup position (pins 2 and 3). See
“System-board switches, jumpers, and buttons” on page 29 for the location of the
UEFI boot backup jumper (JP2).
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
backup jumper (JP2) back to the primary position (pins 1 and 2).
