Security
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 – 2 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.
„
Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly.
„
Disable writing to the floppy disk drive when secure mode is set.
