System and Setup Password Features
NOTICE: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system. If your data requires
more security, use additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs.
NOTICE: Anyone can access the data stored on your system if you leave the system running and unattended
without having a system password assigned or if you leave your system unlocked so that someone can disable the
password by changing a jumper setting.
Your system is shipped to you without the system password feature enabled. If system security is a
concern, operate your system only with system password protection.
Power Button
Turns system's power off and on.
• If you turn off the system using the power button and the system is running an
ACPI-compliant operating system, the system can perform an orderly shutdown
before power is turned off.
• If the system is not running an ACPI-compliant operating system, power is turned
off immediately after the power button is pressed.
The button is enabled in the System Setup program. When disabled, the button
can only turn on system power.
NOTE: You can still turn on the system by using the power button, even if the Power
Button option is set to Disabled.
NMI Button
NOTICE: Use the NMI button only if directed to do so by qualified support
personnel or by the operating system's documentation. Pressing this button
halts the operating system and displays a diagnostic screen.
