computer to prompt you for a password only when certain devices are
accessed at startup. For example, if you set Hard Disk Devices to require a
user password, each time you attempt to start up from the hard disk, you
will be prompted to type the password before the startup proceeds.
Some operating systems require you to type a password before the
operating system will load. Security Profile by Device does not change the
way the operating system works. If an operating system password is
required, you must still type it when prompted, regardless of the Security
Profile by Device settings.
To set Security Profile by Device:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup utility program (see “Starting and using
the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 43).
2. From the Configuration/Setup utility program menu, select System
Security
and press Enter.
3. Select Security Profile by Device and press Enter.
4. Select the desired devices and settings and press Enter.
5. Press Esc twice to return to the Configuration/Setup utility program
menu.
6. Select Save Settings from the Configuration/Setup utility menu; then
press Esc and follow the instructions on the screen to exit from the
Configuration/Setup utility program.
Using Enhanced Security
Enhanced Security can be enabled or disabled only when you update
system programs.
If Enhanced Security is enabled and you have not set an administrator
password, your computer will operate as if enhanced security were
disabled.
If enhanced security is enabled and you have set an administrator
password, your computer will operate as follows:
The contents of the security EEPROM (your administrator password
and startup sequence) will be protected from failure of the battery and
CMOS memory.
The security EEPROM will be protected from unauthorized access
because it locks after your computer is turned on and the system
programs have completed their startup routine. Once it is locked, the
security EEPROM cannot be read from or written to by any software
application or system software until the computer is turned off and
