2.7 Security
To prevent the system from unauthorized booting from CD-ROM, you can set up a power-on-password (POP) or a privileged-access password (PAP). In order to protect the system from unauthorized users removing the battery to delete POP and PAP, you can lock the Model 6E1 with a key lock on the front cover, which protects your side cover as well as the hot-swap disk drives and other media bays from unauthorized access. The key lock is not available for the Model 6C1, as this system is to be considered as a rack-mounted server in a secure environment.
2.8 Software requirements
The Models 6C1 and 6E1 require AIX Version 4.3.3, with 4330-09 recommended maintenance package (APAR IY22024) or later, or AIX 5L Version 5.1, with 5100-01 maintenance package (APAR IY21957) or later.
In order to install the systems from CD-ROM, you need:
