Multiboot Add-in (MBA) Window

The MBA lets you set the system boot priority. The boot priority is the order the
BIOS uses to boot the operating system from various devices in your system.

To set the boot priority of your system:

1. From the SSU Main Menu, launch the MBA by selecting the “Boot

Devices” task under the MBA heading in the task box. Click OK.

2. When the MBA window displays, the “Boot Device Priority” window lists

the current boot priority order. The “Hard Drives” window lists the hard disk
drive(s) in your system. During bootup, BIOS searches the list of device
types shown in the “Boot Device Priority” list, starting with the first device
on the list. When BIOS gets to the Hard Drives, the BIOS tries each device
shown in the “Hard Drives” list, starting at the top of the list.

3. To change the priority of an entry in either list, select the entry and click on

the “Move UP” or “Move Down” buttons.

4. Click on the Save button to save the boot priority.

5. Click on the Close button to return to the Main Menu.

Password Administration (PWA) Window

The PWA configures administrator and user passwords and other security
options.

1. From the SSU Main Menu, launch the PWA by selecting the “Security” task

under the PWA heading in the task box. Click OK. The Security window
displays.

2. Select the Administrator and User Password buttons to change passwords.

3. Select the Options button to enable or disable security options. For an

explanation of the configurable security options, press the Help button.

4. Click on the Save button to save the security option changes.

5. Click on the Close button to return to the Security menu.

6. Click on the Close button to return to the Main menu.
