SecurityEasy

There are two ways to prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system:

System Password and SecurityEasy.

System Password

Set system password in the PASSWORD SETTING section of the BIOS, and set the " Pass-

word Setting" to System in the "BIOS FEATURES SETUP" section. You will be prompted for

the password every time the system boots or any time you try to enter BIOS Setup. If the

"Password Setting" is set as Setup, you will be prompted for the password only when

entering BIOS Setup.

SecurityEasy

The GeniuX 1 mainboard provides additional SecurityEasy function to protect the system from

unauthorized entry or use. There are three ways to enter the SecurityEasy lock status.

Push once the button connected to the two-pin header SLEEP after enabling the SecurityEasy

Lock function in BIOS Setup. (If the lock function is disabled, this button is used as SLEEP

button.)

"Keyboard inactive Timer" is counted to the preset value-from 4 minute to 1 hour set in the

BIOS Setup.

Push once the hot key (Ctrl + F12) after enabling the Hotkey function in BIOS setup.

In SecurityEasy lock status, the power switch and reset buttons are unresponsive, PS/2

mouse is locked and the keyboard is locked except for the SecurityEasy password entering.

The video won' t be blank in the lock status. The only way to exit the lock status is to enter

SecurityEasy password using the keyboard. This means if you set the lock function as

enabled, you must also set the SecurityEasy password.

Please read the notes below thoroughly.

Note 1: The green function(Doze/Standby/Suspend mode) and SecurityEasy lock function

can not be enabled at the same time.

Note 2: If lock function is enabled, the SecurityEasy password should be set, no more than six

characters.

Note 3: When setting the SecurityEasy password or entering the password to exit the lock

status, use the character keys and the <Enter> key located on the alphabetic pad.

Note 4: The serial mouse and the USB keyboard/mouse can' t be locked in SecurityEasy lock

mode.

Note 5: See also chapter 4 BIOS Description for detailed BIOS information.
