DIGITAL Server 5220
Other Security Options
These options can provide further security for the server under certain conditions:
•
If “Password On Boot” is enabled and “Diskette Access” is set to
“Supervisor,” entering the supervisor password at boot allows access to a
diskette. Entering the user password at boot, however, prevents the server
from accessing a diskette.
CAUTION:
Consider the security needs carefully before using
the Password on Boot option. While this option is enabled, the
contents of the hard disk drive cannot be backed up to diskettes
and the server cannot be booted from a diskette drive.
•
Sign On Banner

When enabled, allows a custom banner to be displayed
every time you turn the server on.
•
Diskette Access

While enabled, this option prevents the server from
accessing a diskette.
•
Network Server

Locks the keyboard and mouse to prevent tampering
during network operation. Enter a supervisor password to unlock the
keyboard and mouse.
•
System BIOS Flash

When disabled, prevents the server’s BIOS from
being flashed (rewritten).
