This option determines who has permission to boot
the system using removable media. Select

booted from removable media after the system is
started by entering a supervisor password when the

When [Supervisor Only] is selected, the system
cannot be booted from removable media if
Supervisor Password is enabled and the Supervisor
password was not entered at boot time.

This option determines who has access to an
external floppy drive. Select [Supervisor Only] to
