Security

DriveLock Security

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

 

(continued)

 

drives that support the ATA security command set. 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 command set feature is attached to the

 

 

 

system.
