Enhanced Security
If your model has the Enhanced Security feature, this
option on the System Security menu shows the current
setting for enhanced security. Enhanced security can only
be enabled or disabled when you update system programs,
as further explained under “Enabling and disabling
enhanced security” on page 56.
Enhanced security provides extra protection for your
administrator password and startup (boot) sequence
settings. When enhanced security is enabled, your
administrator password and startup sequence are stored in
a highly-protected, nonvolatile, security EEPROM module
that is separate from CMOS memory and the EEPROM
module that stores system programs. When your
administrator password and startup sequence are locked in
the security EEPROM, they remain intact even if the
battery in your computer expires or is removed by
someone.
