• s4: Hibernate or save to disk. The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the power button or other wakeup event will restore the system state from the disk and resume normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the server while it was off. • s5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the CSB and the BMC are running in this state. No context is saved by the OS or hardware. CAUTION The server is off only when the server input power cord is disconnected. Security Software Locks The BIOS setup and the system setup utility provide a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the server. Once the security measures are enabled, you can access the server only after you enter the correct password(s). For example: • Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time out period⎯1 to 120 minutes. • Set and enable an administrator password. • Set and enable a user password. • Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset and power switches. • Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly. • Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set. • Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive. Using Passwords You can set the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords. If only the user password is set, you: • Must enter the user password to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility. • Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS setup or system setup utility. • Must enter the user password to exit secure mode. If only the supervisor password is set, you: • Must enter the administrator password to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility. • Must enter the administrator password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS setup or system setup utility. • Must enter the administrator password to exit secure mode. If both passwords are set, you: • May enter the user password to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility. However, you will not be able to change many of the options. • Must enter the administrator password if you want to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility and have access to all of the options. • May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS setup or system setup utility. 26 Chapter 2

Security
Software Locks
The BIOS setup and the system setup utility provide a number of security features to prevent unauthorized
or accidental access to the server. Once the security measures are enabled, you can access the server only
after you enter the correct password(s). For example:
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and
mouse after a specified time out period
1 to 120 minutes.
Set and enable an administrator password.
Set and enable a user password.
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset and
power switches.
Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.
Using Passwords
You can set the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords.
If only the user password is set, you:
Must enter the user password to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility.
Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS setup
or system setup utility.
Must enter the user password to exit secure mode.
If only the supervisor password is set, you:
Must enter the administrator password to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility.
Must enter the administrator password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the
BIOS setup or system setup utility.
Must enter the administrator password to exit secure mode.
If both passwords are set, you:
May enter the user password to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility. However, you will not be
able to change many of the options.
Must enter the administrator password if you want to enter BIOS setup or the system setup utility and
have access to all of the options.
May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS setup or
system setup utility.
