Disabling Diskette Boot or Diskette Write
To disable the factory settings that permit the workstation to boot from a
diskette, or to prohibit a user from saving data to a diskette:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. When the cursor appears in the upper-right corner of the screen,
press F10.
NOTE
: The cursor displays in the upper-right corner of the screen for
approximately two seconds. If you do not press
F10
during this time, you must
turn the workstation off, then on again to access the utility.
3. Press Enter to bypass the welcome screens and display the main menu.
4. From the main menu, select Computer Setup, and press Enter. The
workstation prompts you to reboot. Press Enter and the workstation will
restart into Computer Setup.
5. From the Computer Setup main menu, select the Security Management
feature under Built In Devices.
6. Select Storage.
7. Under Removable Media, select the function you want to disable.
8. Save the configuration and exit the utility.
9. Reboot the workstation.
NOTE
: Compaq recommends that you establish a Setup Password to
prevent another user from entering the Computer Setup utility and changing
any settings.
