System Security
There are several ways to prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system.
Security with padlocks and alarm switches:
•
Secure the side covers and the hot-docking bay metal door to the chassis
by inserting padlocks (not provided) through the holes in the metal tabs
protruding through slots in the covers and door.
•
Activate alarm switches for the side covers and hot-docking bay metal
door. These switches transmit alarm signals to the system board.
Software on the system board intercepts these signals and alerts the user
to unauthorized activity.
Security with the Setup utility:
•
Set administrative and user passwords.
•
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use
of the front panel controls.
Security with the System Configuration Utility (SCU):
•
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the system requires a
password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified
time-out period—1 to 128 minutes.
•
Set an administrative password.
•
Set a user password.
•
Activate the secure mode hot-key.
•
Disable writing to the diskette drive.
•
Enable video blanking if using onboard video.
