Feature	Description
Control access to the system	To control access to the system, set a user password and enable the
other than SSU: set user	Password on Boot field through Setup or the SSU.
password	Once set, passwords can be disabled by setting the password to a null
	string or by changing the Clear Password jumper. See “Security Add-in”
	on page 116 to set the password to a null string; or, to change the
	jumper, see “Password Clear Jumper” on page 75.
Boot without keyboard	The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST and
	before the system boots, BIOS automatically detects and tests the
	keyboard, if present, and displays a message. No entry exists in the SSU
	for enabling or disabling a keyboard. Do not plug in a keyboard while
	power is applied to the system.
Specify the boot sequence	The sequence you specify in the BIOS (see “Boot Device Priority
	Submenu” on page 96) or the SSU (see “Multiboot Options Add-in” on
	page 115) determines the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (user
	password is set), you are prompted for a password before the system
	boots fully. If secure mode is enabled and the Secure Mode Boot option
	is also enabled, the system boots fully but requires a password before
	accepting any keyboard or mouse input.
