Preparation for use and operation

Cover monitoring (Intrusion Detection)

In your SCENIC S 2 a casing switch monitors the removal of the casing top cover. If you use
software like DeskView, the opening of the casing (time, duration) will be reported.

Access protection under Windows

Under MS-Windows you can activate a screen saver and protect it with a password. Only those
users who know the password can deactivate the screen saver and access any open files. Detailed
information on screen savers is provided by the associated help function.

BIOS setup security functions

The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data against
unauthorised access, e.g.:
•
Preventing unauthorised BIOS Setup entry
•
Preventing unauthorised system access
•
Preventing unauthorised access to the settings of boards with their own BIOS
•
Preventing system booting from the diskette drive
•
Activating virus warnings
•
Preventing unauthorised writing of diskettes
•
Protecting BIOS from being overwritten
By combining these options worthwhile, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
You will find a detailed description of the Security menus and how to assign passwords in the
technical manual for the mainboard or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.

Access protection with SystemLock

With SystemLock, the PC can only be started with an initialised SmartCard and personal
identification number (PIN). SmartCard and PIN are already checked during system booting in the
BIOS Setup, i.e. before the operating system is booted.
With the Smarty software it is also checked during operation whether the proper SmartCard is
inserted.
If you do not have the entry SystemLock in the BIOS Setup in the Security menu, then your system
does not support SystemLock. You can update your system BIOS with the flash BIOS update. After
you have initialised the first SmartCard, the entry SystemLock cannot be deactivated (Disabled) in the
BIOS Setup.
Additional information on installation, switch-on and operation of SystemLock is contained
i
in the "BIOS Setup" manual.
