Embedded security device (some models)

 

 

Network Service

Enables/disables the workstation’s ability to boot from an operating system installed on a network

Boot

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) and ownership tag (80-byte identifier displayed during POST). See

 

 

the Desktop Management Guide on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD for more information.

 

●

Ownership Tag. This tag is a string that is displayed under the POST splash screen that may be

 

 

used to identify the owner of the workstation.

 

●

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, U.S. or Deutsch) 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.

 

See the Desktop Management Guide on the Documentation and Diagnostics CD for more information.

 

 

OS Security (some

NOTE: An OS Security selection is in effect only if the processor and operating system being used

models)

comprehend and utilize the security feature.

 

●

Data Execution Prevention (some models) (enable/disable) Helps prevent OS security breaches.

 

●

Intel Virtualization Technology (some models) (enable/disable) Changing this setting requires

 

 

turning the workstation off and then back on.

 

 

Setup Security Level

Provides a method to allow end-users limited access to change specified setup options, without having

 

to know the Setup Password.

This feature allows the administrator the flexibility to protect changes to essential setup options, while allowing the user to view system settings and configure nonessential options. The administrator specifies access rights to individual setup options on a case-by-case basis via the Setup Security Level menu. By default, all setup options are assigned Setup Password, indicating the user must enter the correct Setup Password during POST to make changes to any of the options. The administrator may set individual items to None, indicating the user can make changes to the specified options when setup has been accessed with invalid passwords. The choice, None, is replaced by Power-On Password if a Power-On Password is enabled.

NOTE: Setup Browse Mode must be set to Enable in order for the user to enter Setup without knowing the setup password.
