Description
To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set an
administrator password and enable it through Setup or the SSU.
If both the administrator and user passwords are enabled, either can be used
to boot the system or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the
administrator password allows changes to Setup and the SSU.
Once set, passwords can be disabled by setting the password to a null string
or by changing the Clear Password jumper. See "Security Menu," page 40;
or, to change a jumper, see "Baseboard Jumpers," page 143.
To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable
Password on Boot through Setup or the SSU.
Once set, passwords can be disabled by setting the password to a null string
or by changing the Clear Password jumper. See "Security Menu," page 40;
or, to change a jumper, see "Baseboard Jumpers," page 143.
The system can boot with or without a keyboard. Before the system boots
during power on self test (POST), BIOS automatically detects and tests the
keyboard, if present, and displays a message. No entry exists in the SSU for
enabling or disabling a keyboard. Do not plug in a keyboard while power is
applied to the system.
The sequence you specify in the Boot Device Priority Submenu (see page
43) of the SSU's Boot Menu determines the boot order. If secure mode is
enabled (user password is set), you will be prompted for a password before
the system boots fully. If secure mode is enabled and the "Secure Mode
Boot" option is also enabled, the system boots fully but requires a password
before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.
