System functions Advanced system conguration Security functions Energy saving function Conguration of the start-up sequence Save and quit
The individual menus and setting options are described in alphabetical order in the following chapters.
The setting options depend on the hardware conguration of your device. Some menus and certain settings may therefore not be available in BIOS Setup on your
device, or the menus may be in a different place, depending on the BIOS revision.

Maximum Capacity– Hard disk capacity

HarddiskparametersHarddiskcapacity
Shows the capacity of the hard disk as an LBA va lue. The LBA value is the capacity calculated by the BIOS based on the maximum possible number of sectors reported by the hard disk. IDE and BIOS restrict the arrangement of hard disks into cylinders, heads and sectors through maximum permissible values. The hard disk permits more cylinders but fewer heads than the BIOS. A combination of IDE and BIOS restrictions leads to a maximum addressable storage area of 528 MByte.
Not for optical storage media.
The following table lists the maximum permissible values and the resulting maximum usable memory capacities.
BIOS
Max. sectors per head (at 512 Byte)
Max. h eads per cylinder
Max. cylinders 1024 65535 1024 65535 Capacity 8.4 GByte 137 GByte
LBA Translation converts the physical arrangement of a hard disk into cylinders, heads and sectors so that the logical values generated lie within the above BIOS limitations. This means that a hard disk capacity of over 528 MByte can be used. The operating system and application programmes make use of these logical hard disk values. Hard disks of over 528 MByte are congured and operated using LBA mode. If the hard disk supports the LBA mode, then the full memory capacity of the hard disk can be used.
The BIOS also supports 48-bit addressing for hard disks. This industry standard species hard disk capacities up to 144 PByte (Petabyte) - approximately 120,000 times the 137 GByte limit.

No password has been assigned to this hard disk.
A password has just been assigned to the hard disk. The maximum number of permissible attempts at entering the password has been

Restart the system to change the security status of the hard disk. Open BIOS Setup during system boot and change the desired settings.
The hard disk password protects you against unauthorised access to your hard disk drives. Only people who know the hard disk password can boot the operating system from the hard disk or access data on it. The passw ord must be four to eight characters in length. All alphanume rical characters can be used, but no distinction is made between upper-case and lower-case. Passwords are not displayed during entry. The settings become effective immediately and will remain effective, regardless of the method used to exit BIOS Setup later. The status of the hard disk password will be displayed according to the current settings (Installed/Not Installed).
Access to the hard disk is also protected by requiring a master password to be entered. This is intended for use in situations where the stan dard password has been forgotten or is not known. The master password is norm ally kept secret and can be obtained by contacting Fujitsu Siemens Computers customer service. The master password can be deactivated so that access t o the hard disk is only possible using the standard password.

Change Password

The hard disk password enables you to prevent un authorized access to your hard disk drives. Booting the operating system of the hard disk or access to data on the hard disk can only be carried out by people who know the hard disk password. The password must consist of four to e ight characters. All alphanumerical characters can be used, and the password is not case sensitive. When entering the password, the password itself is not displayed. The settings become effective immediately and remain effective regardless of how you end the BIOS Setup later. The status of the hard disk password is displayed as per the current setting.

With SystemLock enabled, the PC can only be started using an initialised SmartCard (SICRYPT, CardOS or Fujitsu) an d a personal identication number (PIN). SmartC ard and PIN are che cked by the BIOS during system boot, i.e. before the operating system is loaded.
All new SmartCards h ave a preset PIN (Personal Identication Number) and PUK (Personal Unblocking Key).
On SICRYPT and C ardO S SmartCards, PIN and PUK are preset to 12345678. On Fujitsu cards, the PIN is preset to 0000 and the PUK is preset to administrator.
We recommend that you change both PIN and PUK for security reasons.
Additional software (e.g. Smarty) is required in order to allow the system to also check that the correct SmartCard is inserted when the system is running.
If BIOS-Setup does not list the entry SmartCard SystemLock in the Security menu, then your system does not support SystemLock. You can update your system BIOS using Flash BIOS update (see Chapter "
Flash-BIOS update", Page 50).
After you have initialised one SmartCard, it will not be possible to deactivate the SmartCard SystemLock entry (Disabled)inBIOS Setup. Please refer to "

Access rights for the SmartCard

New SmartCards initially only have a preset PIN and PUK. Access rights and an individual PIN and PUK are not assigned until the SmartCard is initialised. The SmartCard type depends on the access rights assigned to the card, as described below:
User SmartCard – Start up system, change PIN
Super User SmartCard – Start up system, make changes in BIOS Setup, change PIN
Service SmartCard – Make change s in BIOS Setup
Admin SmartCard – Start up system, make changes in BIOS Setup, change PIN,

SmartCard user groups

SmartCard
User groups can be set up using SystemLock. This enables several systems to be started using a single SmartCard . A user group consists of at least two systems. Each user that is allowed to start the systems is provided with a SmartCard. The user can start any of the systems using the SmartCard.
Basic information on setting up user groups
When installing SystemLock,therst PC in the user group is set up as a "Single PC". The Admin SmartCard generated during this process is used to set up the user group. SystemLock sets up each additional PC as a "Group PC" during installation. When the Admin SmartCard is inserted, information is read in and the PC is added to the user group. The Admin SmartCard determines which user group the PC belongs to.
If you use FSC-CardOS SmartCards, SystemLock can be administered via the Windows program "SystemLock Admin". "SystemLock Admin" allows you to conveniently manage SystemLock at the operating system level, create SystemLock Organisation Units and Groups, generate SmartCards for these Organisation Units or Groups, assign access authorisations for user cards at various levels and restore access authorisations using remote access. You can also change the SmartCard’s PIN or PUK for yo urself and other users and reactivate blocked cards. For a detailed description, see the "SystemLock Admin" Help manual.
