Summary of Software 
Security Features

The table below lists the software security features and describes what 
protection each offers. In general, to enable or set the features listed 
here, you must run the SSU and go to the Security Subsystem Group, 
menu. The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the Setup 
utility. 

Secure Mode

How to enter secure mode:

• Setting and enabling passwords automatically 

places the system in secure mode.

• If you set a hot-key combination (through 

Setup), you can secure the system simply by 
pressing the key combination. This means you 
do not have to wait for the inactivity time-out 
period.

When the system is in secure mode:

• The server can boot and run the operating 

system, but mouse and keyboard input is not 
accepted until the user password is entered.

• At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-

ROM drive or a diskette in drive A, the system 
prompts for a password. When the password is 
entered, the server boots from CD or diskette 
and disables the secure mode.

• If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or 

diskette in drive A, the server boots from drive 
C and automatically goes into secure mode. All 
enabled secure mode features go into effect at 
boot time.

To leave secure mode: Enter the correct 
password(s).

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.
