SECURING SERVER ACCESS

SECURING SERVER ACCESS

Advanced server applications should be protected against

unauthorized users. The switch security feature enables you to

lock the keyboard and monitor, requiring you to type a password

before resuming operation. You can also set a time delay before

the system is locked.

You must always provide a password to access the fields in the

Security Configuration screen. After you type the correct pass-

word, the other fields on the screen are activated.

Locking the screen and keyboard

To lock the screen and keyboard:

1On the Advanced Menus screen, highlight the Setup menu.

2Highlight Security and press ENTER; the Security Configura-

tion screen appears.

3Type your password and press ENTER.

Passwords can be up to eight characters (case sensitive). You

must enter the new password twice for confirmation.

Note

The factory default password is “OSCAR”. Because the CAPS LOCK

key is disabled by default, you must hold down SHIFT as you type

each letter.

4Highlight Time Delay and select the number of minutes from

1 to 254 before you want your screen saver to turn on.

Selecting “Off” disables the screen saver.

5Highlight Mode and select Energy if you are using an Energy

Star-compliant monitor or Screen if your monitor is not of

that type.

Attention

Monitor damage can result from use of Energy Mode with

monitors that are not Energy Star-compliant.
