Page System Security Screen System Security Screen Option Description System Password Displays the current status of the password security feature and allows a new system password assignment and verification. Setup Password Restricts access to the System Setup program by using a setup password. This option prevents booting to the operating system and results in data loss if the encryption keys cannot be restored. Back up the TPM keys prior to enabling this option.

If the boot attempt fails, the system will continue with the next item in the boot order until the boot is successful or no more boot options are found. System Services Restarts the system and accesses the Unified Server Configurator, which enables you to run utilities such as system diagnostics. Page 71 When a system password is not assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position, System Password is Not Enabled and Password Status is Unlocked.

To assign a system password: 1 Verify that Password Status is Unlocked. If an incorrect system password is entered, the system displays a message and prompts you to re-enter your password. You have three attempts to enter the correct password. Page 73 You can use up to 32 characters in your password. As you type, placeholders appear in the field.

The password assignment is not case-sensitive. When you verify the password, the Setup Password changes to Enabled. The next time you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts you for the setup password. Page 76 Figure Inside the System 3.
