Security Measures
You can set a start-up password to protect your computer from unauthorized use.
1 Set the password (Î page 21), and select [Enabled] in [Password on Boot] in the [Secu-
rity] menu of the Setup Utility (Î page 64).
NOTE
z If the Supervisor Password or User Password has been set, the password input screen will be displayed on starting-up
of the Setup Utility even though [Password on Boot] is set to [Disabled].
The flash memory lock function protects the flash memory data from being read or written when the flash memory is attached
to another computer. The data can be read/written when the flash memory is returned to the original computer.
1 Select [Enabled] in [Hard Disk Lock] in the [Security] menu of the Setup Utility (Î page
64).
CAUTION
z For the data being read/written on the original computer, the Setup Utility settings must be the same as when the flash
memory was removed.
z You cannot use the flash memory lock function without setting the Supervisor Password. Set the Supervisor Password
beforehand (Î page 21).
z When you have your flash memory drive repaired
• Contact Panasonic Technical Support.
• Before sending back the flash memory drive, be sure to set the [Hard Disk Lock] to [Disabled].
NOTE
z The flash memory lock function works with the built-in flash memory. It does not work with the external hard disk.
z We recommend you to set [Password on boot] to [Enabled] to ensure security though it is not required to enable the
flash memory lock. (Note that the flash memory lock does not guarantee complete protection of the data.)
