Clicking on the Password button displays the “Password” submenu.
It is used to set the power-on password, hard disk password, and
supervisor password. For more information, go to “Using
Passwords” on page 86.
Note: An open lock icon shows that a password has not been set yet.
Clicking on the Start up button displays the “Start up” submenu,
which you can use to change the startup or boot sequence of the
drives in your computer.
For example, if you have different operating systems on different
replaceable hard disk drives or PC Cards, you can have the system
boot up from one of these devices.
Attention
You must be extremely careful not to specify a wrong device
during a copy, save, or a format operation after you change your
startup sequence. If you specify a wrong device, your data and
programs might be erased or overwritten.
