Security functions
Your workstation enables you to protect your system and personal data against unauthorised
access in a number of ways. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for
your system.

!
Passwords must be assigned for some security functions. Please be sure to note these
passwords, as otherwise you will no longer be able to access your system.
We recommend that you make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe place.
If you lose both the user and the supervisor passwords, you must contact our Help Desk.
The phone numbers can be found in the "Safety" manual. The loss of passwords is not a
warranty case and is therefore subject to charge.
Overview of all security functions
The following sections contain a brief description of the security functions that are provided with your
workstation as standard equipment.
Kensington Lock
With the Kensington MicroSaver, a sturdy steel cable, you can protect your workstation from theft.
For this reason your workstation is equipped with a device for the Kensington MicroSaver. The
Kensington MicroSaver is available as an accessory.
Password protection
You can protect you personal data from unauthorised access with various passwords. By combining
these different options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
Password protection for the BIOS Setup
With the Supervisor password you prevent unauthorised opening of the
BIOS Setup
, and with it
access to important system settings. In the
BIOS Setup
you can also activate protection for the
operating system and your hard disk.
Password protection for the operating system
With corresponding settings in the
BIOS Setup
you can block starting of the operating system. Only
those who know the supervisor or user password can access the system.
Password protection for your hard disk
By activating the hard disk protection in the
BIOS Setup
you prevent unauthorised access to the hard
disk drive. The hard disk password is checked internally during each system start-up and ensures
that the hard disk can only be used in conjunction with the related device.
