Advanced server applications should be protected against
unauthorized users. The switch security feature enables you to
lock the keyboard and monitor, requiring you to type a password
before resuming operation. You can also set a time delay before
the system is locked.
You must always provide a password to access the fields in the
Security Configuration
screen. After you type the correct pass-
word, the other fields on the screen are activated.
