policies across the network with a single action. With ManageX you can run
system management tasks which are triggered by certain events or conditions.

Server security
To prevent unauthorized use of the server, you can set BIOS startup passwords.
To monitor unauthorized access to server components, you can view the event
log.
Using BIOS security passwords
After you set up passwords, you must enter the correct password to start the
server and the BIOS Setup utility. Set up a supervisor password to prevent
unauthorized access to the BIOS Setup utility. After you create a supervisor
password, you can set up a user password to prevent unauthorized access to
the server.
■ Enter either password to finish starting the server.
■ Enter the supervisor password for access to the BIOS Setup utility.
For information about resetting BIOS passwords, see “Resetting BIOS
passwords” on page 91.
To set the BIOS security passwords:
1 Restart your server, then press F2 when the Gateway logo screen appears
during startup. The BIOS Setup utility opens.
