7. Enter the password again in the Enter New Password Again field. If you forget this password, the
drive will be rendered permanently disabled.
8. Select File > Save Changes and Exit and press the F10 key. After you press the F10 key, the
system does a "cold boot" before invoking the DriveLock function.
NOTE: This process can also be used to set the DriveLock Master password by selecting Master in
Step 5.
When the unit "cold boots," you will be prompted to enter the DriveLock password for each DriveLock-
capable drive for which you have previously set a password. You have two chances to entire the
password correctly. If the correct password is not entered correctly, the unit will attempt to boot anyway,
but the boot process will most likely fail as data from an unlocked drive cannot be accessed.
In a single drive system, if the drive is drive-locked, then the system will most likely not boot to the
operating system. The system may try to boot from the network instead, depending on the boot ordering
options. Regardless, the drive-locked drive remains inaccessible without the DriveLock password.
In a two drive system where there is a boot drive and a data drive, one can apply the DriveLock feature
only to the data drive. In this case, the unit can always boot, but the data drive is accessible only when
the DriveLock password is known.
Any cold boot requires you to enter DriveLock passwords. But DriveLock passwords are required for
warm boots as well. For example, if you booted to DOS and entered Ctrl-Alt-Del, you would need to
enter the DriveLock password before the unit will complete the next boot cycle. This warm boot behavior
is consistent with the DriveLock feature found on IDE hard drives.

Hood sensor (smart cover sensor)

The optional hood sensor is a combination of hardware and software technology that can alert you when
the workstation side access panel has been removed if the sensor has been properly configured in the
Computer Setup Utility. There are three levels of protection, as described in the following table.
