This feature is supported on some models only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Device Security

Enables/disables serial ports, parallel port, front USB ports, system

 

 

 

audio, internal speaker (does not affect external speakers) network

 

 

 

controllers (some models), MultiBay devices (some models), SMBus

 

 

 

controller (some models), SCSI controllers (some models), and

 

 

 

embedded security device.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Service

Enables/disables the computer’s ability to boot from an operating

 

 

Boot

system installed on a network server. (Feature available on NIC

 

 

 

models only; the network controller must reside on the PCI bus or be

 

 

 

embedded on the system board.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

System IDs

Allows you to set:

 

 

 

• Asset tag (18-byte identifier) and ownership Tag (80-byte

 

 

 

identifier displayed during POST).

 

 

 

• Chassis serial number or 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 example, English or German) for

 

 

 

System ID entry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DriveLock Security

Allows you to assign or modify a master or user password for drives

 

 

 

that support ATA Security. When this feature is enabled, the user is

 

 

 

prompted to provide one of the DriveLock passwords during POST.

 

 

 

If neither is successfully entered, the hard drive will remain

 

 

 

inaccessible until one of the passwords is successfully provided

 

 

 

during a subsequent cold-boot sequence.

 

 

 

This selection will only appear when at least one drive that

 

 

 

supports ATA Security is attached to the system.

 

 

 

OS Security

• Data Execution Prevention (some models) (enable/disable).

 

 

 

Helps prevent OS security breaches.

 

 

 

This selection is in effect only if the processor and operating

 

 

 

system being used comprehend and utilize this feature.

 

 

 

• Intel Virtualization Technology (some models) (enable/disable).

 

 

 

Changing this setting requires turning the computer off and then

 

 

 

back on.

This selection is in effect only if the processor and operating system being used comprehend and utilize this feature.

Support for specific Computer Setup options may vary depending on the hardware configuration.
