Security The SE7501HG2 BIOS provides a number of security features. This section describes the security not have to wait for the inactivity time-out period. When the system is in secure mode: The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and keyboard input is not accepted until the user - Intel SE7501HG2 | Product Guide - Page 26
boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests server fully boots. If secure mode is enabled and the "Secure Boot Mode" option is also enabled, the server will fully boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input. 26 Intel Server Board SE7501HG2 Product Guide - Intel SE7501HG2 | Product Guide - Page 27
