BIOS Setup security functions
The
Security
menu in
BIOS Setup
offers you various options for protecting your personal data against
unauthorised access, e. g.:
·
Preventing unauthorised
BIOS Setup
entry
·
Preventing unauthorised system access
·
Preventing unauthorised access to the settings of boards with their own BIOS
·
Preventing system booting from the diskette drive
·
Activating virus warnings
·
Preventing unauthorised writing of diskettes
·
Protecting BIOS from overwriting
By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
You will find a detailed description of the

menus and how to assign passwords in the
Technical Manual for the system board or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.
Access protection with SICRYPT PC Lock
With SICRYPT PC Lock you protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can
only be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her
personal code number (PIN). To use PC Lock you require the following components:
·
External or internal SmartCard reader
·
PC Lock installed (see description of "BIOS Setup")
·
SICRYPT SmartCard
i
There are two different SmartCards - the Admin SmartCard and the User SmartCard.
These differ in their memory capacity. In addition to the access rights, you can also save
other safety options on the Admin SmartCard (e.g. fingerprints with the
Smarty 2
software).
PC Lock controls access to your PC. When a SmartCard is initialised, rights are assigned for
system access (system, setup, setup, admin). You can configure several SmartCards for
one system and initialise them with different rights.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same rights.
Additional instructions for PC Lock
i
Do not use PC Lock on systems controlled by tele-maintenance. If a SmartCard is
inserted and the User PIN must be entered, an automatic system boot is blocked.
For example, this is the case with "Wake On LAN", or when software is to be
installed via the network that requires a system reboot.
After you have initialised the first SmartCard, the entry
PC-Lock
can no longer be
deactivated (
Disabled
) in the
BIOS Setup
.
If you also want to use other security software in addition to PC Lock (e.g.
SmartGuard Pro
), please read the documentation on your security software
beforehand.
