System Overview 1-13
Security Features
The system has hardware, software, and mechanical security features that offer
protection against unauthorized access to the system and data. The following
security features are available:
„
Password Security
The CMOS Setup Utility includes a feature that allows a user to set either
a user or supervisor password or both.
The user password controls booting of the system and controls access to
the Setup utility and the keyboard. User access to the CMOS Setup
Utility is limited when a supervisor password is set. The supervisor
password allows full access to the system and the BIOS.
The unattended start security feature, when enabled, allows the system to
boot but locks the keyboard until the user password is entered.
See Section 2, “System Configuration,” for further information on setting
and using passwords and the unattended start feature.
„
Windows Network Security Features
The Windows Network Security feature is available through the
Windows operating system. Check the Windows documentation for
details.
„
Chassis Intrusion Notification
Whenever the chassis cover is removed, LANDesk
®
Client Manager logs
the incident and reports it on screen the next time the system is booted.
See Section 2, “System Configuration,” for information on the chassis
intrusion notification feature.
„
Security slot
The security slot on the back of the chassis accepts a Kensington
®
Security Standard connector or other locking device. The locking device
secures the workstation to an immovable object to prevent theft.
„
Locking Tab
The system also has a locking tab on the rear of the chassis. The tab fits
through a slot on the rear edge of the chassis cover when the cover is on.
When a padlock is used in the tab, the system is physically protected
from chassis intrusion.
