password is entered. This means that any changes in server
hardware that are detected by the system programs in your
server, such as removal of a memory DIMM, will generate a

Enabling and disabling enhanced security
Enhanced security can be enabled or disabled only when you
update the system programs in your server.
To enable or disable enhanced security:
1. Insert a system programs update diskette into drive A in your
server. System programs updates are available on the World
Wide Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/.
2. Turn on the server. If it is on already, you must turn it off and
back on again.
3. The update begins, your server halts, and you are prompted for
your administrator password (if you have set an administrator
password). The server remains in a halted state until you enter
the administrator password.
4. When you enter the administrator password, the update diskette
will continue to run, and you are given the option of enabling
or disabling enhanced security. Your choice is automatically
recorded in the System Security menu of the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Setting, changing, and deleting an administrator password protected by
