Password on Boot
This option requires prior setting of the Supervisor password to
function. When enabled, the system will then require either the
Supervisor or User password before the system can bootup.
The options for this field are:
¾ Disabled (default value), Enabled
Fixed Disk Boot Sector
This option requires prior setting of the Supervisor password to
function. When set to Normal, the system will allow normal
access to the HDD boot sector. When set to Write Protect, the
BIOS blocks all accesses to the boot sector. The options for
this field are:
¾ Normal (default value), Write Protect
NOTE: Write protecting the HDD boot sector will
protect the HDD against boot sector viruses. However,
this option may interfere with the normal operation of
certain operating systems or anti-virus programs, which
would normally need access to the boot sector area.
Diskette Access
This option requires prior setting of the Supervisor password to
function. When set to User, the system will then require either
the Supervisor or User password before allowing access to the
Floppy Disk Drive (FDD). When set to Supervisor, only the
Supervisor password will allow access to the FDD. The options
for this field are:
¾ User (default value), Supervisor
The Boot Menu
The Boot menu allows the user to specify the order in which the
Notebook is to check for a device to boot the system. You can
also configure the way that the system will boot up. To make
changes, select Boot from the menu bar.
