The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and
keyboard input is not accepted until the user password is entered.

At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in drive
A, the system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the
server boots from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.

If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the server
boots from drive C and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled
secure mode features go into effect at boot time.

To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password(s).
