Using Security Profile by Device

Security Profile by Device is used to enable or disable user access to the following devices:

IDE controller

When this feature is set to Disable, all devices connected to the

 

IDE controller (such as hard disk drives or the CD-ROM drive)

 

are disabled and will not be displayed in the system

 

configuration.

Diskette Drive Access

When this feature is set to Disable, the diskette drive cannot be

 

accessed.

Diskette Write Protect

When this feature is set to Enable, all diskettes are treated as if

 

they are write-protected. You can read from the diskette, but you

 

cannot write to the diskette.

To set Security Profile by Device, do the following:

1.Start the Setup Utility program (see “Starting the Setup Utility program” on page 27).

2.From the Setup Utility program menu, select Security.

Selecting a startup device

If your computer does not start up (boot) from a device such as the CD-ROM, diskette, or hard disk as expected, use one of the following procedures to select a startup device.

Note: Not all CDs, hard disks, and diskettes are startable (bootable).

Note: If you are using a USB keyboard and the Startup Device Menu does not display using this method, repeatedly press and release the F12 key rather than leaving it pressed when turning on the computer.
