BIOS password protection
You can protect you personal data from unauthorised access with various passwords. By combining
these different options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
Password protection for the BIOS setup
With the Supervisor password you prevent unauthorised opening of the BIOS Setup, and with it
access to important system settings. In the BIOS Setup you can also activate protection for the
operating system and your hard disk.
Password protection for the operating system
With corresponding settings in the BIOS Setup you can block starting of the operating system. Only
those who know the supervisor or user password can access the system.
Password protection for your hard disk
By activating the hard disk protection in the BIOS Setup you prevent unauthorised access to the hard
disk drive. The hard disk password is checked internally during each system start-up and ensures
that the hard disk can only be used in conjunction with the related device.
SmartCard reader
Your notebook is equipped with a SmartCard interface. You can purchase the "Mobile Secure IT
Suite" as an accessory. It contains a SmartCard and a SmartCard holder. Together with the
SmartCard interface this SmartCard holder serves as a versatile SmartCard reader. You can
purchase additional SmartCards as accessories. The SmartCard can be used as a particularly
secure alternative or as an addition to password protection. SmartCards are just as useful for digital
signatures or for encrypting e-mails.
You can also read out other cards with your SmartCard reader (e.g. cell phone cards, health
insurance cards, bank cards). For this purpose you also require the software matched to the
respective card.
The "Mobile Secure IT Suite" contains several adapters for your cell phone cards. You will find the
trial version of a program with which you can conveniently manage your cell phone data and
messages on your notebook on the "Security Drivers & Tools" CD.
