Q10.

What is the Password Security?

A.

This system provides three levels of password protection against
unauthorized access: password before boot, network-server mode
password and password disable. The password is user definable and
consists of a 7-byte (character) string. The password protection feature is
not case sensitive. When the system is booted for the first time, or the

password has been disabled and re-enabled by moving jumper J13 on

the system board, the user defines and enables the password using the

Setup utility on the Reference disk.
