Network Service Boot Enables/disables the computer’s ability to boot from an operating system
installed on a network server. (The network controller must reside on the PCI

displayed during POST). See the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide
on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD for more information.
●
Chassis serial number or Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) number.
The UUID can only be updated if the current chassis serial number is

to uniquely identify the system.)

entry.
DriveLock (some models) Allows you to assign or modify a master or user password for ATA hard drives.
When this feature is enabled, the user is prompted to provide one of the
DriveLock passwords during POST. If neither is successfully entered, the
hard drive will remain inaccessible until one of the passwords is successfully
provided during a subsequent cold-boot sequence.
NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one ATA drive that
supports the ATA Security command set is attached to the system.
See the Computer Setup (F10) Utility Guide on the Documentation and
Diagnostics CD for more information.
