Data Security - Fujitsu Lifebook C340 Manual

Your LifeBook C Series notebook is configured
to APM (Advanced Power Management) mode.
Due to ongoing industry development of ACPI
technology, it is not recommended that you re-
configure your notebook for ACPI mode.

DATA SECURITY

Your LifeBook C Series has a built-in hardware
control password security feature that allows
you to protect the data stored in the notebook
from unauthorized access. Your operating
system and some applications have software
control password security features that allow you
to protect all or portions of the data stored in the
notebook from unauthorized access.
Hardware Data Security Features
When you are using your notebook built-in
hardware control password to gain access to the
notebook the actual password will not appear
on the screen. This is a safety precaution. The
hardware control security parameters are set
from the BIOS setup utility. (See Security Menu
on pages 71-74 for more information on setting
and clearing passwords and enabling and
disabling built-in security features.)

Software Data Security Features
The operating system and some applications
have security features that are independent of
the built-in hardware protection features that
are controlled from the BIOS. See your software
documentation for more information about
these features.
C A U T I O N
Make sure you memorize your passwords,
both hardware and software. If you
forget, you may not be able to use the
notebook, and you will have to contact
your service provider and arrange to
have them reset the hardware system
password. See your software documen-
tation for what to do if you forget your
software security password(s).

not be the same as the hardware security
passwords. Be sure you know which
features are controlled from software
and which from hardware or you may

to operate your notebook.
