Menu Bar

The Setup Utility provides a menu bar with several menu selections. The menu
bar choices are:

User Preferences - Use this menu option to set the NetServer time, date
and keyboard functions.

Security - Use this menu option to set Power-on password protections and
hardware security options. Two choices are available under Security:

Power-On Password - Use this option to set the administrator and user
passwords, which will require a password to enter the Setup Utility or
complete the boot process.

The Administrator password must be set before setting the User
password. Once the Administrator password is set, the Administrator
can access and change all fields in the Setup Utility screens.

If the User password is set, the user may change the system time, date,
user password and a limited number of items in the various screens of
the Setup Utility. The user may view all screens in the Setup Utility,
but can’t alter all of the settings.

Hardware Security - Use the options under this head to enable or
disable writing to floppy disks connected to the embedded controller.
Also found here are switches for allowing booting from the floppy
drive, disk drive, and CD-ROM.

Configuration - Use this menu option to configure I/O ports, I/O
addressing, interrupts, PCI slot masters, IRQ interrupt locking, and boot
device ordering. You can also use this menu to enable/disable the
following items; the embedded NIC, the Wake-on-LAN feature and the
processor serial.

Integrated I/O Port - Configure ports for serial and parallel, assign base
addresses and interrupts, pointing devices (mouse), and console
redirection for remote control.

Flexible Disk Drive - Enable or disable the floppy disk drive controller.

Memory Cache - Enable or disable memory hole and enable or disable
RAM to free address space.

IDE Devices - Set primary master/slave, secondary master/slave
relationships on IDE devices, and set the local bus IDE adapter.
