If not, Not Installed displays. Change Supervisor/ User Password These items can be used to install a password.
Exit Menu This screen allows you to load the optimal or failsafe default values, and save or discard changes. Figure 2.19 Exit Menu screen Save Changes and Exit Highlight this item and press <Enter> to save the changes that you have made in the Setup Utility and exit the Setup Utility.
Load Failsafe Defaults This option opens a dialog box that lets you load fail-safe defaults for all appropriate items in the Setup Utility. The fail-safe defaults place no great demands on the system and are generally stable. If the system is not functioning correctly, try loading the fail-safe defaults as a first step in getting the system working properly again.
