*1 With EFI firmware version 01-61/02-61 or later , or 03-44/04-44 or later, you are not
requested to input a password for authentication while a server blade is being
booted.
Any password can be set for a user.
When you set a user password with EFI firmware version earlier than 01-61/02-61,
or earlier than 03-44/04-44, it is always necessary to enter the password for
authentication while a server blade is being booted.
When you set the N+M cold standby, high availability (HA), or automatic OS boot, do
not set a password. Otherwise, the password authentication interrupts switching
systems or booting modules.
