  • Page 83: Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature

    A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation. NOTE As implemented on DH61AG, Hard Disk Drive Password Security is only supported on SATA port 0. The passwords are stored on the hard disk drive so if the drive is relocated to another SATA port or computer that does not support Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature, the drive will not be accessible.

  • Page 84: Adjusting Boot Speed

    It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
