The following contains instructions for setting and using the password feature.
System Password
Use the system password to lock the system at power-on. The system password is set using

system password is set, the password must be entered before entering Auto Setup. This
feature allows only authorized access to system parameters.

S elect “System Password” on the Keyboard parameter menu in Auto Setup.
3.
Select “Enter and Enable”.
4.
At the prompt, enter up to seven characters in length and press Enter . Another
window appears with a prompt to reenter the password for verification.
5.
Reenter the password and press Enter . Auto Setup returns to the Keyboard pa-
rameter menu.
6. Save the changes and return to the initial summary screen.
7.
Exit Auto Setup and save the changes.
NOTE:
Once a system password is entered, it
cannot be edited or disabled in Auto Setup. See
procedures for removing or replacing a password
letter in this section.
Using the System Password
After setting the initial password, a password prompt appears each time the system is pow-
ered on. The password prompt is a key icon. The key icon appears after the completion of
POST.
To use the password, boot the system by powering the system off and then on. At the
password prompt (key icon), enter the password and press
Enter
to load the operating
system or to enter Auto Setup.
