Software Locks via the System Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a
number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental
access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access
to the system is allowed only after the user enters the correct
password(s). For example:
T
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a
password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified
time-out period 1 to 120 minutes
T
Set and enable an administrative password
T
Set and enable a user password
T
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent
use of the front panel reset and power switches
T
Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly
T
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
