Pre-Boot Authentication
This technology provides a secure, tamper-proof environment by preventing data from being read from the
hard disk or operating system until the user enters the correct PBA login credentials. Pre-Boot
Authentication serves as an extension of the BIOS or boot firmware to provide a trusted authentication layer,
separate from the operating system.

String 0
-512 characters
Text to display on the PBA support
information screen. Customize the message
to include spe
cific instructions about how to
contact the Help Desk or Security

results in no support contact information
being available for the user.
Text wrapping occurs at the word level, not
the character level. If a s
ingle word is more
than approximately 50 characters in length,
it will not wrap and no scroll bar will be
present, therefore the text will be
truncated.
The text in this policy is translatable.
