1-24 System Overview

SYSTEM SECURITY

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

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

To unlock the bezel, insert the key in the lock and turn the lock counterclockwise until it stops (about a quarter turn). The bezel is now unlocked and can be opened again.

To lock the bezel, insert the key in the lock. Turn the lock clockwise until it stops (about a quarter turn). The bezel is now locked and cannot be opened.

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, you can access the system only after you enter 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 a supervisor 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.

!Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.

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

!Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.
