system management
In the unlikely event that the previously saved MBR has been corrupted, the following message is
displayed:
1998 - Master Boot Record has been lost.
Press any key to enter Setup to configure MBR Security.
Upon entering Computer Setup, you must
■
Save the MBR of the current bootable disk; or
■
Disable the MBR Security feature.
You must know the setup password, if one exists.
Before you partition or format the current bootable disk, ensure that MBR Security is disabled
before you change partitioning or formatting of the current bootable disk. Some disk utilities,
such as FDISK and FORMAT, attempt to update the MBR. If MBR Security is enabled when you
change partitioning or formatting of the disk, you may receive error messages from the disk
utility or a warning from MBR Security the next time the workstation is turned on or restarted.
To disable MBR Security, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation. If you are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down > Restart
the Computer.
2. When the
F10=Setup
message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press the
F10
key. Press
Enter
to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
NOTE:
If you do not press the
F10
key while the message is displayed, you must restart the
workstation to access the utility.
3. Select Security > Master Boot Record Security > Disabled.
4. Before exiting, click File > Save Changes and Exit.
Kensington cable lock provision
The rear panel of the chassis can accommodate a Kensington cable lock accessory that allows the
workstation to be physically secured to a work area.
For illustrated instructions, see the “cable lock (optional)” section in Chapter 4.
3.2.6 fault notification and recovery
Fault Notification and Recovery features combine innovative hardware and software technology
to prevent the loss of critical data and minimize unplanned downtime.
When a fault occurs, the workstation displays a Local Alert message containing a description
of the fault and any recommended actions. You can then view current system health by using
the Management Agent. If the workstation is connected to a network managed by a HP Insight
Manager product or other management products from HP Management Solutions Partners, the
workstation also sends a fault notice to the network management application.
