SYSTEM SECURITY LOCKING
The default hot key sequence is
<Ctrl> <Alt> <Backspace>
. When the
System Password feature is enabled in BIOS Setup, the user can invoke
this feature at any time by pressing this key sequence. This feature is
useful for preventing unauthorized access to the system. Once system
locking is invoked, the keyboard does not accept anything from the
keyboard until the correct password is entered. The Num Lock, Caps
Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDS blink when the system is password locked.
SYSTEM POWER DOWN MODE
Pressing
<Ctrl> <Alt> <\>
key sequence puts the system into immediate
power down mode. This hot key sequence is active if the Green PC
system power saving mode is enabled in BIOS Setup.
