Boot Sector Virus Protection
Optimal and Fail-Safe setting: Disabled
AMC Module Password Support
Two Levels of Password Protection
The AMC module provides for both a Supervisor and a User password. If both passwords are
used, the Supervisor password must be set first.
The system can be configured so that all users must enter a password every time the system
boots or when starting the BIOS Setup program, using either the Supervisor password or User
password.
The Supervisor and User passwords activate two different levels of password security.
Remember the Password
It is highly recommended to keep a record of all passwords in a safe place. Forgotten pass-
words can lead to being completely locked out of the system. Booting may not be possible, and
in the worst case the BIOS setup program will also not be accessible.
In this event, it will be necessary to contact Kontron’s Technical Support for further assistance.
