SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES
The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit your operating needs and to
view the current data security configuration. (See Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security Menu and its submenus, all the options for
each field, the default settings and a description of the field's function and any special information needed to help
understand the field's use. The default condition is no passwords required and no write protection.
■
Remember your passwords! If you set and forget your User and Master hard disk passwords, Fujitsu
Computer Systems will not be able to reset it. You may lose data and have to replace your system
board or hard disk drive.
■
WARNING. VERY IMPORTANT if your hard disk drive is protected using a Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
"engine". FDE encrypts all data as it is written to the hard drive. When data is retrieved from the
hard drive, it is decrypted by the same engine. If you forget your hard disk security password on a
system with FDE, all data and applications on the hard drive will remain encrypted and will effec-
tively be lost. Be sure to remember your hard disk password.
■
Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row causes the keyboard and mouse to be locked out
and [System Disabled] to be displayed. If this occurs, restart the computer by turning off and on
the power with the power switch and use the correct password on reboot.
■
If you make an error when re-entering the password a Warning will be displayed. To try again press
[Enter], then retype the password, or press [Esc] to abort the password process.
■
If the Security Panel on Resume is Enabled and the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have
to type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power
Management Security will work only if Password boot is enabled.

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu
The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.
■
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
■
A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the CD-ROM is used,
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used,
the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal
hard drive is not present or disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted
internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the hard drive.The boot
sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.
