• Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in
either the BIOS Setup or SSU.
• Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.
If both passwords are set, you:
• May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU. However, you will not be able to
change many of the options.
• Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU and have
access to all of the options.
• May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS
Setup or SSU.
• May enter either password to exit secure mode.
Secure Mode
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect:
• You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the user
password to use the keyboard or mouse.
• You cannot turn off system power or reset the server from the front panel switches.
• Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via remote server management or power
control via the watchdog timer.
Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you
press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered
off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains
depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.
