4.8.1.2 DriveLock Passwords
This system supports the DriveLock security feature for a compatible hard drive installed in the
Multibay. DriveLock, when enabled, prevents unauthorized access to hard drive data by requiring
a master an d/or user password to be en tered for access to data on the hard dri ve. Although thi s
function is configured through the Setup utility, the password information is stored in a reserved
area on the hard drive (i.e., the password(s) move(s) with the hard drive).
NOTE: The DriveLock featur e is designed prim arily for business envir onments,
especially where a removable Multibay hard drive(s) may be shared between several
systems. Since the loss of (forgetting) both DriveLock passwords to a drive will result in
that drive being unusable, it is strongly advised that this feature be invoked and
managed by a system administrator. For detailed user information consult the
appropriat e user/reference guid e for this system.
4.8.2 POWER MANAGEMENT
This system provides baseline hardware support of ACPI- and APM-compliant firmware and
software. Key power-consuming components (processor, chipset, I/O controller, and fan) can be
placed into a reduced power mode either automatically or by user control. The system can then be
brought back up (wake-up) by events defined by the ACPI specificat ion. The ACPI wake-u p
events supported by this system are listed as follows:
ACPI Wake-Up Event System Wakes From
Power Button Suspend or soft-off
RTC Alarm Suspend or soft-off
Wake On LAN (w/NIC) Suspend or soft-off
PME Suspend or soft-off
Serial Port Ring Suspend or soft-off
USB Suspend only
Keyboard Suspend only
Mouse Suspend only
4.8.3 THERMAL SENSING AND COOLING
All systems feature a variable-speed fan (mounted as a part of the power supply assembly)
controlled by thermal sensing logic. All systems also include a header for connection to a fan
that may be included in some processor upgrade kits (known as boxed processors).
The system should be oper ated with all covers i n place to ensure pr oper cooling of the system
board compon ents.
