Dell HX574 System Security Screen Options Description Setup Password, Password feature, Start-up

Table 2-7. System Security Screen Options (continued)

Option	Description
Setup Password	Restricts access to the System Setup program in the same way
	that you restrict access to your system using the system
	password feature.
	NOTE: See "Using the Setup Password" on page 57 for
	instructions on assigning a setup password and using or
	changing an existing setup password.
Password Status	Setting the Setup Password option to Enabled prevents the
	system password from being changed or disabled at system
	start-up.
	To lock the system password, assign a setup password in the
	Setup Password option and then change the Password Status
	option to Locked. In this state, you cannot change the system
	password using the System Password option and cannot be
	disabled at system start-up by pressing <Ctrl><Enter>.
	To unlock the system password, enter the setup password in
	the Setup Password field and then change the Password
	Status option to Unlocked. In this state, you can disable the
	system password at system start-up by pressing
	<Ctrl><Enter> and then change the password using the
	System Password option.
TPM Security	NOTE: TPM functionality is not available in China.
(Off default)	Sets the reporting of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in
	the system.
	When set to Off, presence of the TPM is not reported to the
	operating system.
	When set to On with Pre-boot Measurements, the system
	reports the TPM to the operating system and stores the pre-
	boot measurements (compliant with Trusted Computing
	Group standards) to the TPM during POST.
	When set to On without Pre-boot Measurements, the system
	reports the TPM to the operating system and bypasses pre-
	boot measurements.
