Security Features

For detailed information about security features, refer to the Server
Documentation CD.

Software Security

The following software security features are established through the Compaq
ROM-Based System Utility:
I
Administrator password—prevents changes to the configuration unless
you enter the password.
I
Diskette drive control—enables and disables the diskette drive. When
disabled, the diskette drive will not read, write, or boot.
I
Diskette write control—enables and disables diskette write functions.
When disabled, will not write, but boot and read functions are still
available.
I
Power-on password—locks out the keyboard preventing unauthorized
access to Compaq servers. The keyboard lock out prevents logins or
commands until the proper password is entered.
I
Network server mode—permits system startups from a hard disk or
network server while the keyboard and mouse are disabled.
I
QuickLock—disables the keyboard and mouse without exiting the
application. The application remains in view on the monitor screen, but
cannot be accessed.
I
Serial interface control—disables the serial port. When disabled, all data
transfer through the integrated serial port is blocked.

Hardware Security

The following hardware security features are established by a switch on the
I/O board:
I
Configuration (NVRAM) lock—disallows configuration changes when
in use by not allowing nonvolatile memory to be modified.
I
Diskette Boot Control—enables and disables the diskette boot functions.
When disabled, the system will not boot from a diskette, but runtime
diskette read and write functions are still available
