SYSTEM SECURITY LOCKING
The default hot key sequence is
<Ctrl> <Alt> <Backspace>
. When
the System Password feature is enabled in BIOS Setup, the user can
invoke this feature at any time by pressing this key sequence. This
feature is useful for preventing unauthorized access to the system. Once
system locking is invoked, the keyboard does not accept anything from
the keyboard until the correct password is entered. The Num Lock, Caps
Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDS blink when the system is password locked.
SYSTEM POWER DOWN MODE
Pressing
<Ctrl> <Alt> <\>
key sequence puts the system into
immediate power down mode. This hot key sequence is active if the
Green PC system power saving mode is enabled in BIOS Setup.
