Taking the system out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you
press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered
off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains
depressed when secure mode is removed, the system will be powered off.

Table 7. Software Security Features
Feature Description
Secure mode How to enter secure mode:
In either the BIOS Setup or the SSU, set either password and enable one, or more,
of the secure mode features:
Secure Mode Timer - if the system is inactive for longer than the set limit, it enters
secure mode.
Secure Mode Hot Key - you can secure the system simply by pressing the key
combination. This means you do not have to wait for the inactivity time-out period.
Secure Mode on Boot - the system boots directly into secure mode.
When the system is in secure mode:
The system can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and keyboard input is
not accepted until the user password is entered.
At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in drive A, the
system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the system boots
from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.
If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the system boots from a
hard drive and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled secure mode
features go into effect at boot time.
To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password.
