Refer to the following for information on the options available for the secure mode. Options Hot Key Option Lockout Timer Secure Boot Mode Video Blanking Floppy Writes Reset/Power Switch Locking Description Specifies a set of keyboard commands that will place the system immediately into secure mode. Specifies a keyboard and mouse inactivity timeout period of 1 to 128 minutes (in one-minute increments). If the timer is enabled, and no keyboard or mouse activity occurs for the specified period, keyboard and mouse input is inhibited. Specifies if the keyboard and mouse will be disabled after POST completes and the operating system has loaded. You must enter the user password to unlock the keyboard and mouse. Specifies whether secure mode will cause the monitor to go blank. Specifies whether writing to a diskette is enabled or disabled when the system is in secure mode. Specifies if the power switch and reset button are disabled when the system is in secure mode. Setup Program The Setup program stores configuration values in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) and in the battery-backed memory of the real-time clock. Entries that you make in the System Configuration Utility program overwrite the entries made in the Setup program. You perform much of the system configuration through the System Configuration Utility program, not the Setup program. In most cases, the server operates using the default settings, and you need to change the settings only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or change device function. Review the information that comes with the device before making changes. Also, record the current settings before making any changes. 42 Netfinity Server HMM
