Network Service 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.)

 

 

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.

 

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 hard drives. 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.

 

NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive that supports the DriveLock feature

 

is attached to the system.
