the hard drives against viruses.
Password on Boot
When this feature is set to Enabled, a password is required for a user to enter the
system at bootup. The options are Enabled (password required) and
Disabled
(password not required).
Trusted Platform Support
Select Enabled to enable support for trusted platforms and allow the BIOS to auto-
matically download the drivers needed to provide support for the platforms specified.
The options are Enabled and
Disabled
.
If set to Enabled, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) State submenu will display.
(See the next section.)
NOTE:
The TPM feature has been updated and is now exclusively enabled
or disabled using this BIOS feature. As a result, jumper JP3 on this particu-
lar motherboard is no longer used to enable/disable the TPM feature. For
security reasons, leave jumper JP3's setting to Disabled (default setting)
regardless of the BIOS' Trusted Platform Support setting.
