system access the device. Device Hidden makes the device unavailable; it is
disabled by the BIOS and cannot be enabled by the operating system.
NOTE:
An entry for enabling DriveLock appears in the setup menu if the
workstation has a DriveLock-compatible hard disk drive.
Embedded

This option becomes available if Embedded Device is set to Available.

feature that requires you to enter a TPM user key password to start the

authentication password.

clears authentication credentials.
To enable the Embedded Security Device and to access any security features
associated with the device, you must enter a setup password.
