Description
A display-only field. Set is displayed when the system supervisor password is
set and Clear when it is not.
A display-only field. Set is displayed when the general user
password is set and Clear when it is not.
Sets, changes or cancels the Supervisor Password. The Supervisor Password
may be up to seven characters and must include only letters or numbers (no
symbols). Passwords are NOT case-sensitive. To cancel a password press
[Enter] instead of entering characters in the Enter New Password field and Re-
enter New Password fields. When a Supervisor Password is set it must be used
to access the BIOS setup utility.
This field can only be accessed if Supervisor Password is set. This field sets,
changes, or cancels User Password. User Password may be up to seven char-
acters and must include only letters or numbers (no symbols). Passwords are
NOT case-sensitive. To cancel a password, press the Enter key instead of
entering characters in the Enter New Password field and in the Re-enter New
Password field. When a User Password is set it must be used to access the
BIOS setup utility.

word in order to be set.
When set to Disabled, no password is required. When set to First Boot, a pass-
word (User or Supervisor) is required after the Power On Self Test (POST)
before the operating system will be read from a disk. If Every Boot is set, a
password (User or Supervisor) is required after the Power On Self Test (POST)
every time the system is booted (before the operating system is read from the
disk).
When set to Disabled, it is not necessary to enter a password to wake up from
LAN or Real Time Clock (RTC). When Enabled, it is still necessary to enter a
password after automatic wake-up.
When set to Enabled, the PS/2 mouse and keyboard inputs are locked out
upon Resume from Suspend or Save to Disk mode until you enter the pass-
word. When set to Disabled no password is required. If no Supervisor Pass-
word is set, this feature is not available and no password is required.
If Supervisor Only is selected, only the supervisor can boot from removable
media. If All is selected, anyone can boot from removable media.
When disabled, the BIOS Flash memory is write protected; when enabled, it is
not.
