3.2.5.2 Network Boot
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the
on-board LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. In order to
boot from the LAN you will have to enter the BIOS and select LAN boot as your first
boot device.
3.2.5.3 Booting without Attached Devices
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing
the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not
present:
•Video adapter
•Keyboard
•Mouse
3.2.5.4 Changing the Boot Device
Pressing the <Delete> key during POST causes the BIOS menu to be displayed. Using
your arrow keys move over to <BOOT> and then arrow down to <Boot Device Priority>
and then select which device you would like to boot first and second.
Note: Please follow the instructions on the right side of the BIOS screen to navigate and
change BIOS settings.
3.2.6 BIOS Security Features
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and
who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for
the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:
• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the
Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
• The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
• If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to
Setup respective to which password is entered. Setting the user password restricts
who can boot the computer. The password prompt will be displayed before the
computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer boots
without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, the user can enter either
password to boot the computer.
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user passwords.
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to 16 characters
in length.
