Description 
Disable writing to 
diskette 
In secure mode, the server will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a 
password is entered.   
To write protect access to diskette whether the server is in secure mode or not, use 
the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only. 
Set a time out period 
so that keyboard and 
mouse input are not 
accepted 
Also, screen can be 
blanked, and writes to 
diskette can be 
inhibited 
Specify and enable an inactivity time out period of from 1 to 120 minutes. 
If no keyboard or mouse action occurs for the specified period, attempted keyboard 
and mouse input will not be accepted. 
The monitor display will go blank, and the diskette drive will be write protected 
(if these security features are enabled through Setup). 
To resume activity:  Enter the correct password(s). 
Control access to 
using the SSU:  set 
supervisor password 
To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set a supervisor 
password and enable it through Setup. 
If both the supervisor and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to boot 
the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the supervisor password 
will allow Setup to be changed. 
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change 
Password menu of the Supervisor Password Option menu found in the Security 
Subsystem Group. 
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password 
jumper (see Chapter 5). 
Control access to the 
system other than 
SSU:  set user 
password 
To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through 
Setup. 
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change 
Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security 
Subsystem Group. 
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password 
jumper (see Chapter 5). 
Boot without 
keyboard 
The system can boot with or without a keyboard.  During POST, before the system 
completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the 
keyboard if it is present and displays a message.   
Specify the boot 
sequence 
The sequence that you specify in setup will determine the boot order.  If secure 
mode is enabled (a user password is set), then you will be prompted for a 
password before the server fully boots.  If secure mode is enabled and the “Secure 
Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot but will require a 
password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.
