Using The Setup Screens; Setting The Server's Boot Passwords - HP D5970A - NetServer - LCII Installation Manual

Chapter 10

Using the Setup Screens

Online help explains the settings displayed on the Setup. You also get
instructions for navigating between the screens and entering or changing the
setup data.
Press the right-arrow and left-arrow keys to move between selections on
the menu bar. The menu bar is present at the top of most screens .
Press the up-arrow and down-arrow keys to move between fields on each
screen. The currently-selected field is highlighted.
Certain fields ask you to choose from a list of entries. In such cases, press
the plus (+) or minus(-) keys repeatedly to display each possible entry, or
the Return key to choose from a pop-up menu.
Some field names are preceded by small arrows. This means the field is
actually a submenu. To visit the submenu, select it with the arrow keys
and press the Return key. The submenu then appears in place of the
current screen.
The Esc key is the exit key. If you press the Esc key on one of the top-level
screens, the Exit menu appears. If you press Esc on a submenu, the
previous screen appears. When you are making selections from a pop-up
menu, use the Esc key to close the pop-up without making a selection.

Setting the Server's Boot Passwords

You can configure the HP NetServer LXr 8000 to require a password upon
booting. Further, you can have a separate user password and administrator
password.
To configure the HP NetServer to require a boot password:
1. Use the right-arrow or left-arrow key to select Security from the Setup
menu. As soon as you do this, the Security menu appears.
2. Use the down-arrow key to move to the Password on Boot field. If
the entry in this field is Disabled, press the Return key to change it to
Enabled.
When the Password on Boot feature is enabled, the HP NetServer requests
a password upon booting. If it does not receive the password, the server
remains in Secure Mode.
