Password on Boot

This option requires prior setting of the Supervisor password to function. When
enabled, the system will then require either the Supervisor or User password before
the system can bootup. The options for this field are:

Disabled (default value), Enabled

Fixed Disk Boot Sector

This option requires prior setting of the Supervisor password to function. When set
to Normal, the system will allow normal access to the HDD boot sector. When set to
Write Protect, the BIOS blocks all accesses to the boot sector. The options for this

Normal (default value), Write Protect

NOTE:

Write protecting the HDD boot sector will protect the HDD against

boot sector viruses. However, this option may interfere with the normal operation
of certain operating systems or anti-virus programs, which would normally need
access to the boot sector area.
