Software Locks via the System Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide 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:
n Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the
keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period
n Set and enable an administrative password
n Set and enable a user password
n Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset
and power switches
n Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly
n Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
