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 a user or supervisor password,
or both.
The user password controls booting of the system and controls access to the 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.

Windows Network Security Features

The Windows Network Security feature is available through the Windows operating system. See
the Windows documentation for details.

Security Lock Slot

The security lock slot accepts a Kensington Security Standard connector or other locking device
to physically protect the system unit from intrusion.

Anti-theft Bracket

The anti-theft bracket is used to secure the mouse and keyboard cables. Securing the cables in
the bracket makes it difficult to remove the devices from the system.

Hard Drive Security

The 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 2, "System
Configuration," for additional information on using hard drive security.
