You can also set security measures in the BIOS Setup utility which establishes 
passwords and automatic system lockouts. The system also includes server 
management software that monitors the chassis intrusion switch.

The system includes a chassis intrusion switch. When the top panel is opened, 
the switch transmits a signal to the system board, where server management 
software processes the signal.

The BIOS Setup utility provides several security features to prevent 
unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures 
are enabled, access to the system is allowed only after you enter the correct 
password. For example, the utility lets you:

■

Set and enable the supervisor and user passwords

■

Control access to the Setup utility

■

Restrict diskette drive access

■

Restrict access to the hard drive boot sector

Configure and enable the security features using the BIOS Setup utility.

Disabling the security features does not change the state of system power. That 
is, if you press and release the power switch while security is on, the system 
will not power off when security is later disabled. However, if the front panel 
power switch remains pressed when security is disabled, the system will turn 
off.
