To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set
an administrative password and enable it through Setup or the SSU.
If both the administrative and user passwords are enabled either can
be used to boot the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but
only the administrative password will allow Setup and the SSU to be
changed.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in
the Change Password menu of the Administrative Password Option
menu found in the Security Subsystem Group.
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU,
change the Clear Password jumper.

Feature Description
To control access to using the system, set a user password and
enable it through Setup or the SSU.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in
the Change Password menu of the User Password Option menu
found in the Security Subsystem Group.

The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST,
before the system completes the boot sequence, the BIOS
automatically detects and tests the keyboard if it is present and
displays a message. There is no entry in the SSU to enable or
disable a keyboard.
The sequence that you specify on the menu in the SSU MultiBoot
Group will determine the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (a
user password is set), then you will be prompted for a password
before the server fully boots. If secure mode is enabled and the
“Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot
but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or
mouse input.
