Starting the Configuration/Setup Utility

This topic describes the Configuration/Setup Utility and how to start it.

Steps

  1. The Configuration/Setup Utility program is a menu-driven utility that is part of the BIOS code that comes with the Model 1RX. You can use it to perform these functions:
    • Configure serial port assignments.
    • Change the drive startup sequence.
    • Enable USB keyboard and mouse support.
    • Resolve configuration conflicts.
    • Set the date and time.
    • Set passwords.
  2. Perform the following steps to start the Configuration/Setup Utility program:
    1. Power ON the engine and watch the monitor screen.
    2. When the message Press F1 for Configuration/Setup appears, press F1.
      Note: To run the Configuration/Setup Utility, you must use the highest-level password available for the engine when you power it on. For example, if an administrative password is set for the engine, you must use it when you power on the engine instead of using the power-on password.

      If you do not use the administrative password, you will have access to only a limited set of Configuration/Setup Utility functions.

    3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
