SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES
The Security menu allows you to set up the data security
features of your notebook to fit your operating needs
and to view the current data security configuration. (See
Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more
information.)
The following tables show the names of the menu fields
for the Security Menu and its submenus, all of the
options for each field, the default settings and a
description of the field's function and any special
information needed to help understand the field's use.
The default condition is no passwords required and no
write protection.
If you set a password, write it down and
keep it in a safe place. If you forget the
password you will have to contact your
support representative to regain access to
your secured functions and data.

Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in
a row causes the keyboard and mouse to
be locked out and the warning [System
Disabled] to be displayed. If this hap-
pens, restart the computer by turning off
and on the power with the power switch
and use the correct password on reboot.
If you make an error when re-entering
the password a Warning will display on
the screen. To try again press [Enter],
then retype the password. Press [Esc] to
abort the password setting process.
If the Power Management Security is
Enabled and the Password on Boot is Dis-
abled you will not have to type your
password upon resuming the system
from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk

work only if Password boot is enabled.
Boot sector protection must be set to
[Normal] to install or upgrade an
