Hard-disk Drive Password(s)
System Primary Password
System Modular Bay Password
Dock Media Bay Password
Hard-disk drive password(s) displays the current status of the primary hard-disk drive password and
allows you to assign or change this password. You can set a primary password for the system, the system
modular bay, and the dock media bay.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled (the default) — Indicates that no password is assigned
Enabled — Indicates that a password is currently assigned
NOTICE: The password features provide a high level of security for the data in your computer.
However, they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, you should obtain and use
additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs or PC Cards with encryption
features.
Infrared Data Port
Infrared Data Port allows you to avoid resource conflicts by remapping the address of the infrared ports or
disabling the port. The COM1, COM2, COM3, and COM4 settings allow you to take advantage of the
computer's Fast IR support.
NOTE: Before you enable infrared driver support, you must enable the Infrared Data Port option by
selecting a COM setting (COM3 is recommended). You must also set the Infrared Mode option to
either Fast IR or Slow IR.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled (the default) — Disables the infrared data port and makes the direct memory access (DMA),
interrupt request (IRQ), and I/O resources available for another serial device to use
COM1 — Maps the infrared data port to COM1
COM2 — Maps the infrared data port to COM2
COM3 — Maps the infrared data port to COM3
COM4 — Maps the infrared data port to COM4
For a change in the Infrared Data Port option to take effect, you must reboot your computer.
