2.7 Security
To prevent the system from unauthorized booting from CD-ROM, you can set up a
power-on-password (POP) or a privileged-access password (PAP). In order to protect the
system from unauthorized users removing the battery to delete POP and PAP, you can lock
the Model 6E1 with a key lock on the front cover, which protects your side cover as well as the
hot-swap disk drives and other media bays from unauthorized access. The key lock is not
available for the Model 6C1, as this system is to be considered as a rack-mounted server in a
secure environment.
2.8 Software requirements
The Models 6C1 and 6E1 require AIX Version 4.3.3, with 4330-09 recommended
maintenance package (APAR IY22024) or later, or AIX 5L Version 5.1, with 5100-01
maintenance package (APAR IY21957) or later.
In order to install the systems from CD-ROM, you need:
AIX Version 4.3.3 Boot media: AIX 4.3.3 5765-C34 dated 9/2001 (CD# LCD4-0286-07)
