Remote Power-On (Wake On LAN) Function

The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or modem. If the system power is set to Off, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet from the main computer to the remote system.

Note: The standard default value of the remote power-on function is “Disabled”. To enable it, the Wake On LAN item in the System Hardware menu of the BIOS Setup Utility described in Chapter 3 “BIOS Setup Configuration Settings” must be changed to “Enabled.”

System Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full lockable front cover and Server Management software that monitors the system.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

The front cover of the tower-based system contains a mechanical lock to prevent access to the front of the computer chassis.

The computer chassis includes an interlock switch for the front panel, which controls power shutdown for safety. When the interlock switch is opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server management software processes the signal.

Security with the rack-mount system is identical to the tower-based system stated above, except that the mechanical locks are on the front and rear doors of the rack.

Software Locks via the BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user enters the correct password(s). For example:

!Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to

reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period 1 to 120 minutes.

!Set and enable an administrative password.

!Set and enable a user password

!Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset and power switches.

!Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
