Description
How to enter secure mode:
Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in
secure mode.
If you set a hot-key combination (through Setup), you can secure the
system simply by pressing the key combination. This means you do not
have to wait for the inactivity time-out period.
When the system is in secure mode:
The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and
keyboard input is not accepted until the user password is entered.
At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive the system prompts
for a password. When the password is entered, the server boots from CD
and disables the secure mode.
If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive, the server boots from drive C and
automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled secure mode features
go into effect at boot time.
To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password(s).
Specify and enable an inactivity time out period of from 1 to 120 minutes.
If no keyboard or mouse action occurs for the specified period, attempted
keyboard and mouse input will not be accepted.
To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).
To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set a
supervisor password and enable it through Setup.
If both the supervisor and user passwords are enabled, either can be
used to boot the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only
the supervisor password will allow Setup to be changed.
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the
Change Password menu of the Supervisor Password Option menu found
in the Security Subsystem Group.
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear
Password jumper (see Chapter 5).
