System Overview
Software Locks via the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized
or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the
system is allowed only after the user enters the correct password(s). For example:
!
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to
reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period
1 to 120
minutes.
!
Set and enable an administrative password.
!
Set and enable a user password
!
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the
front panel reset and power switches.
!
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
Reconfiguration
If a CPU or a memory DIMM error was detected during execution of POST (Power On
Self-Test) after system power is turned on, the reconfiguration function isolates the
failed CPU or memory DIMM and continues operation. You should replace the failed
device as soon as possible.
This function is enabled only when the following system requirements are met:
!
Two CPUs are installed.
!
Two memory DIMMs are installed.
A CPU or memory DIMM error may be viewed on the screen while POST is running or
by entering BIOS Setup. It may also be viewed when the ESMPRO Suite program is
installed and operating.
