Table 7. Software Security Features (continued)
Feature Description
Disable writing to
diskette In secure mode, the system will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a
password is entered. To set this feature, use the SSU Security Subsystem Group.
To write-protect access to diskette whether the system is in secure mode or not, use
the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only.
Disable the power
and reset buttons Enable the feature through the SSU. Then the power and reset buttons are disabled
when the system is in secure mode.
Set a time-out
period so that
keyboard and
mouse input are not
accepted
Also, screen can be
blanked, and writes
to diskette can be
inhibited
Specify and enable an inactivity time-out period of from 1 to 120 minutes.
If no keyboard or mouse action occurs for the specified period, attempted keyboard
and mouse input will not be accepted.
The monitor display will go blank, and the diskette drive will be write-protected (if
these security features are enabled through Setup or the SSU).
To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).
Control access to
using the SSU: set
administrative
password To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set an
administrative password and enable it through Setup or the SSU.
If both the administrative and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to
boot the system or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the administrative
password will allow Setup and the SSU to be changed.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change
Password menu of the Administrative Password Option menu found in the Security
Subsystem Group.
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear
Password jumper (see Chapter 5).
Control access to
the system other
than SSU: set user
password To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through
Setup or the SSU.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change
Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem
Group.
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear
Password jumper (see Chapter 5).
Boot without
keyboard The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the system
boots, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the keyboard if it is present and
displays a message. There is no entry in the SSU to enable or disable a keyboard.
Specify the boot
sequence The sequence that you specify on the menu in the SSU Multi-Boot Group will
determine the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (a user password is set), then
you will be prompted for a password before the system fully boots. If secure mode is
enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the system will fully
boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.
