If both the power-on password and supervisor password are set, you can enter either password. However, you must use your supervisor password to change any configuration settings.

• Hard disk password Setting a hard disk password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the storage drive. When a hard

disk password is set, you are prompted to enter a valid password each time you try to access the storage drive.

Note: After you set a hard disk password, your data on the storage drive is protected even if the storage drive is removed from one computer and installed in another.

• System management password (for selected models) You can enable the system management password to have the same authority as the supervisor

password to control security related features. To customize the authority of the system management password through the UEFI BIOS menu:

1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.

2. Select Security ➙ System Management Password Access Control.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Do not open the static-protective package containing the new part until the defective part has been removed and you are ready to install the new part. Static electricity, although harmless to you, can seriously damage computer components and options.

When you handle options and other computer components, take these precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:

• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

• Always handle options and other computer components carefully. Handle PCI/PCIe cards, memory modules, system boards, and microprocessors by the edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry.

• Prevent others from touching the options and other computer components.

• Touch the static-protective package containing the part to a metal expansion-slot cover or other unpainted metal surface on the computer for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity from the package and your body before you install or replace a new part.

• When possible, remove the new part from the static-protective package, and install it directly in the computer without setting the part down. When this is not possible, place the static-protective package on a smooth, level surface and place the part on the package.

• Do not place the part on the computer cover or other metal surface.
