password will appear on the screen, and your computer will remain in a suspended state until your administrator password is entered. Your configuration settings cannot be changed in the Configuration/Setup Utility program until you enter the administrator password. This means that any changes in computer hardware that the system programs in your computer detect will generate a configuration error until you enter the administrator password. To enable or disable Enhanced Security: 1. Insert a system programs update (flash) diskette into the diskette drive (drive A) in your computer. System programs updates are available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. 2. Turn on the computer. If it is on already, you must turn it off and back on again. 3. The update begins, your computer halts, and you are prompted for your administrator password (if you have set an administrator password). The computer remains in a suspended state until you enter the administrator password. 4. When you enter the administrator password, or if no administrator password has been set, the update diskette will continue to run, and you are given the option of enabling or disabling Enhanced Security. Your choice is automatically recorded in the System Security menu of the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Using Security Profile by Device Security Profile by Device enables you to control the level of security for the following: IDE controller (for example, hard disk drives): When the feature is set to Disable, all devices connected to the IDE controller are disabled and will not appear in the system configuration. Diskette Drive Access: When the feature is set to Disable, the diskette drive cannot be accessed. Diskette Write Protect: When the feature is set to Enable, all diskettes are treated as if write-protected. Setting Security Profile by Device also enables you to control which devices require a password before they start up. There are three classes of these devices: Removable media, such as diskette drives and CD-ROM drives Hard disk drives Network devices Chapter 4. Configuration/Setup Utility program 43
