Software Security Features (continued)
Feature
Description
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 an
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.
