Displaying and Setting the Security Mode
The
secure

its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change
takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.
When the

stopped. The workstation boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.
To display the current setting for the
secure
flag, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure [Enter]
To set the
secure
flag on, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure on [Enter]
To set the
secure
flag off, you need to disconnect all possible boot devices to interrupt the
boot sequence and force the prompt to the Boot Console Handler.
Next, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure off [Enter]
