SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES

The Security menu allows you to set up the data security
features of your notebook to fit your operating needs and
to view the current data security configuration. Follow the
instructions for Navigating Through the Setup Utility to
make any changes. (See Navigating Through The Setup
Utility on page 2 for more information.)

The tables show the names of the menu fields for the
Security menu and its submenus, all of the options for
each field, the default settings and a description of the
field's function and any special information needed to
help understand the field's use. The default condition is
no passwords required and no write protection.
