The individual menus and setting options are described in alphabetical
order in the following chapters.
The setting options depend on the hardware configuration 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.

Main Menu – System functions
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.
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 configured 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 specifies hard disk
capacities up to 144 PByte (Petabyte) - approximately 120,000 times the 137 GByte limit.

The hard disk does not support a password. You cannot assign a password to

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

DCO (Device Con figu ration Overlays) is blocked. Switch off the system and retry.
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.

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

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.
