Operation

BIOS setup security functions

The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data against unauthorised access, e.g.:

Preventing unauthorised access to the BIOS Setup.

Preventing unauthorised system access

Preventing system booting from the diskette drive

Virus warnings, activating

BIOS: Protecting BIOS from overwriting

Protecting the device from being switched on by an external device

You can also combine these functions.

You will find a detailed description of the Security menus and how to assign passwords in the manual for the mainboard or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.

Access authorisation via SmartCard (optional)

In systems equipped with a SmartCard reader, access can be restricted to those users who have a corresponding SmartCard.

Access protection with SystemLock (optional)

With SystemLock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can only be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her personal code number (PIN). To use SystemLock you require the following components:

External or internal SmartCard reader

SystemLock installed (see "BIOS Setup" manual)

SmartCard

SystemLock controls access to your device. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are assigned for system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several SmartCards for one system and initialise them with different permissions. In addition you can protect access to your hard disk.

In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the same permissions.

If you also want to use other security software in addition to SystemLock (e.g.

SMARTY), please read the documentation on your security software beforehand.
