Configuring the planar BIOS

Use this procedure to configure the planar BIOS.

WARNING

There is an option to configure an Administrative password
during BIOS configuration. The configuration of BIOS
passwords is not recommended; however, local security policies
might require that BIOS passwords be used. Use extreme
caution if configuring BIOS Administrative passwords. If the
password is lost or forgotten, it cannot be recovered, and the
motherboard of the server must be replaced. See Nortel AS
5300 Security (NN42040-601).

WARNING

There is an option to configure a Power-on password during
BIOS configuration. Do not configure Power-on passwords as
this could possibly interfere with the restarting of servers.
