Hot Key
The Hot Key field is used to define a key which, when
entered, will cause the BIOS to put the OS into power
management mode. Use this field to choose an
alphabetic character. Press
defined alphabetic character when not in Setup to use
the feature. Typically, there is some delay before the
system enters power management mode and the speaker
issues two tones.
If there is a User Password in effect the Num Lock,
Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock lamps on the keyboard flash
in sequence, indicating that the system is in Secure
Mode. (See Set User Password field in the Security
Menu.)
In this case, the password has to be entered before you
regain control of the system. This password is not
echoed to the screen. The following table describes how
the Powerdown Hot Key interacts with the Security Hot
Key.
