Security Features

The system has hardware, software, and mechanical security features that offer protection
against unauthorized access to the system and data. The following security features are
available:
Password security
!
The BIOS Setup Utility includes a feature that allows a user to set either a user or
supervisor password, or both.
The user password controls booting of the system and controls access to the BIOS Setup
Utility and the keyboard. User access to the BIOS Setup Utility is limited when a supervisor
password is set. The supervisor password allows full access to the system and the BIOS.
See Section 2, "System Configuration," for further information on setting and using
passwords.
Windows network security features
!
The Windows network security feature is available through the Windows operating system.
Check the Windows documentation for details.
Keyboard/mouse anti-theft bracket
!
The keyboard/mouse anti-theft bracket on the rear of the chassis secures the keyboard and
mouse cables to the system, making it difficult to remove the units.
Cover locking tab
!
Attaching a padlock (not supplied) to the locking tab at the rear of the chassis prohibits
removal of the system cover. With the padlock attached and locked, the system is physically
protected from chassis intrusion.
Chassis intrusion notification
!
If the system cover is removed, a hidden switch sends a signal to LANDesk Client Manager
(LDCM). LDCM logs the incident and then reports it on screen the next time the system is
booted.
Hard drive security
!
Your system supports password protection for the hard drive. Hard drive password
protection restricts access to the drive if the drive is removed and installed in another
system. The system does not prompt for hard drive passwords while the drive remains in the
current system.
The passwords are written to the system BIOS and to the hard drive to ensure that the
password protection travels with the drive if it is moved to another system. See Section 3,
"Configuring the System," for additional information on using hard drive security.
