Chapter 5. Security

Lock the hub

Lock your hub to a desk, table, or other fixtures through a Kensington-style cable lock.
You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking device and security feature.
Lenovo makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance of the
locking device and security feature. You can purchase locks from Lenovo.

Use passwords

Password types
You can set the following passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System) to prevent unauthorized access to your hub. However, you are not prompted to enter any
UEFI BIOS password when your hub resumes from sleep mode.
• Supervisor password
Setting a supervisor password deters unauthorized users from changing configuration settings. If you are
responsible for maintaining the configuration settings of several hubs, you might want to set a supervisor
password.
When a supervisor password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to enter
the BIOS menu.
• System management password
You can enable the system management password to have the same authority as the supervisor
password to control security related features. To customize the authority of the system management
password through the UEFI BIOS menu:
1. Restart the hub. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.
2. Select Security ➙ Set System Management Password.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
