2-26 General Description
Feature Description
Control access to
the system other
than BIOS Setup:
set user password To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it
through Setup.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry 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, change the Clear
Password jumper (see Chapter 4).
Boot without
keyboard The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the
system completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and
tests the keyboard if it is present and displays a message.
Specify the boot
sequence The sequence that you specify in setup 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 server fully boots. If secure mode is
enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will
fully boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or
mouse input.
