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.

To set Security Profile by Device, do the following:

1.Start the IBM Setup Utility program (see “Starting the IBM Setup Utility program” on page 21).

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

3.Select Security Profile by Device.

4.Select the desired devices and settings and press Enter.

5.Return to the IBM Setup Utility program menu and select Exit and then Save Settings or Save and exit the Setup Utility.

Note: If you do not want to save the settings, select Exit the Setup Utility without saving.

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.

Selecting a temporary startup device

Use this procedure to startup from any boot device.

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

1.Turn off your computer.

2.Turn on your computer and look for the following prompt on the logo screen:

(To interrupt normal startup, press Enter)

Press Enter when you see the prompt.

3.When the Startup Interrupt Menu displays, press F12.

4.Select the desired startup device from the Startup Device menu and press Enter to begin.

Note: Selecting a startup device from the Startup Device menu does not permanently change the startup sequence.

Changing the startup device sequence

To view or permanently change the configured startup device sequence, do the following:
