If you choose “Enable” this will protect against viruses being written to the hard disk boot sector (this is not a substitute for

Password Warning
If you set a boot password (Password on boot is “Enabled“), NEVER forget your password. The consequences
of this could be serious. If you cannot remember your boot password you must contact your vendor and you
may lose all of the information on your hard disk.

The submenus here allow you to enable/disable the interface controllers for Bluetooth, PC Card/Card Reader, USB/Finger Print ID,
LAN and Audio/Modem.
TPM Protection (Security Menu)
You can enable/disable TPM protection from this menu. If you choose to disable TPM protection then a submenu will appear as per
TPM Function below. Note that you should disable TPM Protection when you are first going to initialize the TPM security module
(see “Trusted Platform Module”).
TPM Function (Security Menu)
If you disable the TPM function from the menu above this menu will appear to allow you to set the level of TPM functionality. You
can enable/disable the TPM function altogether, or clear all existing TPM information but leave the function enabled, or clear all
existing TPM information and disable the function.
Note:
If you clear all TPM information it will be erased altogether and the information will need to be
reconfigured.
