3-12 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
If the hard drive is installed in another NEC Versa system with
security enabled, you must enter the master password to access the
hard disk drive. If the hard drive is installed in another NEC Versa
system with security disabled, the system boots with no password
required.
Moving the Hard Disk Drive
When a password protected HDD is moved from its original system
and installed in another system, error messages appear indicating that
the drive is locked. Next, the Security Setup screen appears requiring
the user to enter the master password to unlock the drive. Highlight the
HDD password line and enter the master password when prompted.
To take advantage of HDD password protection in another system, the
system must be equipped with the same HDD password protection
feature. To determine if that system has HDD password, check the
Security Setup in the BIOS Setup to see if there are provisions for
establishing HDD passwords.
