Option Description
System Password Displays the current status of your system's password security feature and allows
you to assign and verify a new system password.
NOTE: See "Using the System Password" on page 36 for instructions on assigning a
system password and using or changing an existing system password.
Setup Password Restricts access to the System Setup program in the same way that you restrict
access to your system using the system password feature.
NOTE: See "Using the Setup Password" on page 38 for instructions on assigning a
setup password and using or changing an existing setup password.
Password Status Setting the Setup Password option to Enabled prevents the system password from
being changed or disabled at system start-up.
To lock the system password, assign a setup password in the Setup Password option
and then change the Password Status option to Locked. In this state, you cannot
change the system password using the System Password option and cannot be
disabled at system start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>.
To unlock the system password, enter the setup password in the Setup Password
field and then change the Password Status option to Unlocked. In this state, you
can disable the system password at system start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>
and then change the password using the System Password option.
AC Power Recovery
(Last default)
Determines how the system reacts when power is restored to the system. If system
is set to Last, the system returns to the last power state. On turns on the system
after power is restored. When set to Off, the system remains off after power is
restored.
Chassis Intrusion
(Enabled default)
Enables the chassis intrusion detection feature. When this option is set to
Enabled-Silent, chassis intrusions are detected, but no warning message is
reported during startup. When this option is set to Enabled, the field
automatically shows Detected when the chassis cover has been removed.
Intrusions are not detected when this option is set to Disabled
