∙May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.
∙May enter either password to exit secure mode.
Secure Mode
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect:
∙You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the user password to use the keyboard or mouse.
∙You cannot turn off system power or reset the server from the front panel switches.
Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via the Server Manager Module or power control via the real time clock.
Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.
