3-12 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
With hard disk drive security enabled on the original NEC Versa system, the system
boots normally.
If the hard drive is installed in another NEC Versa system with security enabled, you
must enter the master password to access the hard disk drive. If the hard drive is
installed in another NEC Versa system with security disabled, you are prompted to
enter the master password and then a new user password.
Moving the Hard Disk Drive
When a password protected HDD is moved from its original system and installed in
another system and the system is powered on, error messages appear indicating that the
drive is locked. Next, the Security Setup screen appears requiring the user to enter the
master password to unlock the drive. To unlock the drive, highlight the HDD password
line and enter the master password, when prompted.
If you wish to move an HDD from one system to another, follow steps 1 through 6 in
the section, “Establishing Hard Disk Drive Passwords,” before installing the HDD in a
different system. Install the HDD in the desired system, then follow steps 7 and 8, as
desired, to establish HDD protection.
To take advantage of HDD password protection in another system, the system must be
equipped with the same HDD password protection feature. To determine if the system
has HDD password, check the System Security Setup in the BIOS setup to see if there
are provisions for establishing HDD passwords.
Power Management Setup
If your Versa LXi system ships with the Windows 2000/98 operating system, the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) controls most power management
functions through the Power Management Properties screen in Windows. For details
about ACPI power management, see the section, “Managing System Power,” later in
this chapter. The BIOS Power Management Setup screen is described next. Please note
that some of the following definitions do not apply under Windows 2000/98 with
ACPI, as noted.
Use SystemSoft’s PowerProfiler to manage power in the Windows NT environment.
Access the PowerProfiler icon on the Windows NT taskbar.
