Password Status Setting the Setup Password option to Enabled prevents the system password from being changed or disabled at system start-up. To lock the system password, assign a setup password in the Setup Password option and then change the Password Status option to Locked. In this state, you cannot change the system password using the System Password option and cannot be disabled at system start-up by pressing . To unlock the system password, enter the setup password in the Setup Password field and then change the Password Status option to Unlocked. In this state, you can disable the system password at system start-up by pressing and then change the password using the System Password option. AC Power Recovery (Last default) Chassis Intrusion (Enabled default) Determines how the system reacts when power is restored to the system. If system is set to Last, the system returns to the last power state. On turns on the system after power is restored. When set to Off, the system remains off after power is restored. Enables the chassis intrusion detection feature. When this option is set to Enabled-Silent, chassis intrusions are detected, but no warning message is reported during startup. When this option is set to Enabled, the field automatically shows Detected when the chassis cover has been removed. Intrusions are not detected when this option is set to Disabled Exit Screen After you press to exit the System Setup program, the Exit screen displays the following options: • Save Changes and Exit • Discard Changes and Exit • Return to Setup Using the System Setup Program System Event Log The system event log records events that have been detected on your system. If you experience problems with your system, you should check the system event log (see Table 2-2) for information to assist in troubleshooting. Events are recorded in two columns, giving an event type and event data to provide more specific component information. Table 2-6 presents the possible log entries, causes, and possible corrective actions. Table 2-6. System Event Log Entries Event Type Event Data Causes Corrective Actions Log Cleared User cleared the log (or initial log entry from factory). Information only. PCI PERR Slot # or Bus # and Device, Function # of the device A parity error was detected on the PCI bus. See "Troubleshooting Expansion Cards" on page 109. PCI SERR Slot # or Bus # and Device, Function # of the device A system error was detected on the PCI bus. See "Troubleshooting Expansion Cards" on page 109. Intrusion The cover was opened or the chassis intrusion cable was not detected. Information only. To reset, enter the System Security screen. See "System Security Screen" on page 33. PCIe Fatal Error Slot # or Bus # and Device, Function # of the device This error is generated when a fatal error is detected on the PCIE bus. See "Troubleshooting Expansion Cards" on page 109. Chipset Error Bus, Device, and Function # A chipset error was detected on the system board. See "Getting Help" on page 123. ECC Warning Threshold DIMM # Correctable ECC errors have increased from a normal rate. See "Troubleshooting System Memory" on page 103.
