3.12.12Security Screen Options

3.12.12.1User Password is

Reports if there is a User password set. There are no options.

3.12.12.2Administrative Password is

Reports if there is an Administrative password set. There are no options.

3.12.12.3Set User Password

Sets the User password. The password can be up to seven alphanumeric characters.

3.12.12.4Set Administrative Password

Sets the Administrative password. The password can be up to seven alphanumeric characters.

3.12.12.5Unattended Start

Controls when the security password is requested. The options are Enabled and Disabled. The default is Disabled. The User password must be enabled before you can enable this option. If Enabled is selected, the system boots, but the keyboard will be locked until the User password is entered.

3.12.12.6Security Hot Key (CTRL-ALT-)

Sets a hot key that, when pressed, locks the keyboard until the User password is entered. The Keyboard LEDs flash to indicate that the keyboard is locked. When you enter the User password, you do not have to press the <Enter> key.

3.12.13Exit Screen

This section describes the different ways to exit and save or not save changes made in the Setup program.

3.12.13.1Exit Saving Changes

Saves the changes to CMOS RAM and exits the Setup program. You can also press the <F10> key anywhere in the Setup program to do this.

3.12.13.2Exit Discarding Changes

Exits the Setup program without saving any changes. This means that any changes made while in the Setup program are discarded and NOT SAVED. Pressing the <Esc> key in any of the four main screens will do this.

TE430VX specifications

The Intel TE430VX was a landmark product in the realm of computing during the early 1990s. This microprocessor, part of Intel's line of Pentium processors, was primarily aimed at the burgeoning market for personal and business computing.

One of the main features of the Intel TE430VX was its 32-bit architecture, which allowed for a significant increase in processing power compared to its predecessors. The 32-bit data bus enabled the handling of larger amounts of data simultaneously, enhancing overall system performance. The TE430VX was capable of executing instructions at clock speeds ranging from 60 MHz to 66 MHz, which was quite impressive for its time. This processing power made it suitable not only for everyday computing tasks but also for more demanding applications such as graphic design and gaming.

The TE430VX also incorporated advanced technologies such as pipelining, which allowed it to execute multiple instructions in a single clock cycle. This feature contributed to improved performance and responsiveness, making the user experience smoother. The microprocessor supported a variety of RAM types, including EDO (Extended Data Out) RAM, which further enhanced its performance by reducing memory access times.

Another characteristic that set the TE430VX apart was its compatibility with a wide range of operating systems, including DOS, Windows, and various UNIX variants. This flexibility ensured that users could run their preferred software without compatibility issues, making it a versatile choice for home and business environments alike.

The integration of a built-in memory controller also simplified motherboard design, reducing the overall cost of systems utilizing the TE430VX. This chip also supported advanced graphics options, allowing users to experience better multimedia performance through dedicated graphics cards.

Power consumption was another consideration in the design of the TE430VX. It was engineered to operate efficiently while maintaining good performance, an important factor for long-term sustainability in computing environments.

In summary, the Intel TE430VX was a significant advancement in microprocessor technology during the early 1990s. Its 32-bit architecture, pipelining capabilities, compatibility with multiple operating systems, and efficient power consumption contributed to its reputation as a reliable choice for both personal and professional use, solidifying Intel's position as a leader in the computing landscape.
