BIOS Utility 4-35
4.7.3 Power-on Password
The Power-on Password secures your system against unauthorized
use. Once you set this password, you have to type it whenever you
boot the system. To set this password, enter the BIOS utility, select
System Security, then highlight the Power-on Password parameter.
Follow the same procedure as in setting the Setup password.
Make sure to set JP11 to 1-2 to enable the
Power-on password.
Operation Mode
This function lets you enable or disable the password prompt display.
When set to Normal, the password prompt appears before the system
boots. When set to Network, the password prompt does not appear;
however, the keyboard is locked after the system has booted and
remains locked until the correct password is entered.
