HP/Phoenix BIOS Summary
Security
Sub-menus are presented for changing the characteristic and values of the
System Administrator Password, User Password, Hardware Protection and
Boot Device Security, the amount of protection against the system’s drives
and network connections, and the amount of protection against being able
to boot from the system’s drives and network connections. The Security
Menu contains the following sub-menus:
• User Password. This password can only be set when an administrator
password has been set. The User Password prevents unauthorized use of
the computer, protects stored data.
• Administrator Password. This password prevents unauthorized access
to the computer’s configuration. It can also be used to start the computer.
• Hardware Protection. The following devices can have their accesses
unlocked/locked: Integrated Flexible Disk Controller, Integrated ICD
Controller, Integrated Data Communications Ports and Integrated
Interfaces.
• Boot Device Security. Select which devices are to be used for booting up
the system. The option Disabled prevents unauthorized use of a device to
start the computer.
Boot Menu
Select the order of the devices from which the BIOS attempts to boot the
operating system. During POST, if the BIOS is unsuccessful at booting from
one device, it will then try the next one on the Boot Device Priority list
until an operating system is found.
The QuickBoot Mode option allows the system to skip certain tests while
booting. This decreases the time needed to boot the system
.
Power Menu
This menu allows you to set the standby delay. It also allows the system
administrator to decide whether the mouse is enabled as a means of
reactivating the system from Standby. It is also possible to specify whether
the space-bar is enabled as a means of reactivating the system from Off.
