HP 1105 manual Slot Security, Network Boot, System IDs, Master Boot Record

Table 3-4Computer Setup—Security (continued)

Slot Security	Allows you to disable any PCI or PCI Express slot. Default is enabled.
Network Boot	Enables/disables the computer’s ability to boot from an operating system installed on a network
	server. (Feature available on NIC models only; the network controller must be either a PCI
	expansion card or embedded on the system board.) Default is enabled.
System IDs	Allows you to set:
	● Asset tag (18-byte identifier), a property identification number assigned by the company to
	the computer.
	● Ownership tag (80-byte identifier) displayed during POST.
	● Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) number. The UUID can only be updated if the current
	chassis serial number is invalid. (These ID numbers are normally set in the factory and are
	used to uniquely identify the system.)
	● Keyboard locale setting for System ID entry.
Master Boot Record	Enables/disables Master Boot Record (MBR) security.
Security	The MBR contains information needed to successfully boot from a disk and to access the data
	stored on the disk. Master Boot Record Security may prevent unintentional or malicious changes
	to the MBR, such as those caused by some viruses or by the incorrect use of certain disk utilities.
	It also allows you to recover the "last known good" MBR, should changes to the MBR be detected
	when the system is restarted.
	When MBR Security is enabled, the BIOS prevents any changes being made to the MBR of the
	current bootable disk while in MS-DOS or Windows Safe Mode.
	NOTE: Most operating systems control access to the MBR of the current bootable disk; the
	BIOS cannot prevent changes that may occur while the operating system is running.
	Restores the backup Master Boot Record to the current bootable disk. Default is disabled.
	Only appears if all of the following conditions are true:
	● MBR security is enabled
	● A backup copy of the MBR has been previously saved
	● The current bootable disk is the same disk from which the backup copy was saved
	CAUTION: Restoring a previously saved MBR after a disk utility or operating system has
	modified the MBR, may cause the data on the disk to become inaccessible. Only restore a
	previously saved MBR if you are confident that the current bootable disk's MBR has been
	corrupted or infected with a virus.
