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.

NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive that supports the DriveLock feature is attached to the system.
