1 B I O S Setup DESKPOWER 8000 (Product code: MK8)

2 1 What is BIOS Setup BIOS Setup is a program used to set up the hardware environment, including memory, hard disks and floppy disk drive. This PC has been configured with the minimum required settings at the factory. Additional settings are necessary if: You set a password to allow a specific user to use the PC. You change the resource settings. You release or change the power-saving mode (the PC enters the standby state to use the minimum power when not operating for a specified time). You are prompted to start up BIOS Setup during self-diagnosis. You use another OS. Your settings during BIOS Setup are stored in the CMOS RAM memory of the PC. The CMOS RAM data is held by the built-in battery power. If a BIOS setup error message appears again when you turn the PC power on or when you restart the PC after you have completed BIOS setup, the CMOS RAM data may have been lost. Contact a Fujitsu Service Center or your retailer for repair. CAUTION When replacing the battery, be sure to install it with the polarities in the correct position. Danger of explosion if battery is replaced with incorrect type or is mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer s instructions. 2

24 5 Using BIOS Password Functions This chapter explains the password functions for protection of data stored on your PC. This PC allows the user to set a password to prevent illegal use. Once the password is set, the PC is accessible to the users who know the correct password. Password types The following two types of passwords can be defined on the PC. The PC operation authority depends on the password type. Setup Password This type of passwords allow only the particular person to use BIOS Setup. The BIOS Setup starts only after the correct administrator password has been entered. System Password This type of passwords allow particular people to use the PC. The operating system (OS) of the PC starts when the correct user password is entered. The user passwords can be set only after the administrator password has been set. Setting your password 1 Locate the cursor onto the Set Setup Password or Set System Password and press the Enter key. The password entry window will appear. Set Setup Password: Enter New Password [ ] Confirm New Password [ ] Set System Password: Enter New Password [ ] Confirm New Password [ ] 2 Enter a password consisting of 2 to 8 characters. The password can contain alphanumeric characters only. Your entries are not displayed on the screen but each keystroke is indicated by symbol. If you have defined a password from the numeric keypad, you must always enter the password from the numeric keypad after the next startup. When you change your password, you must first enter the current password for your authorization checkout. 3 Enter your current password and press the [Enter] key. The cursor shifts to the Confirm new password option and your are prompted to enter the password again. 24

25 4 Enter the password you already entered in Step 2 and press the [Enter] key. The Setup Notice window will appear. 5 Press the [Enter] key to complete the password change. If you enter a wrong password at the second time, the Setup Warning window appears. Press the [Enter] key and repeat steps after Step 2. To cancel password setup, just press the [Esc] key. 6 Choose the Save Changes & Exit from the Exit menu to exit the BIOS setup and shut down the PC. Restarting the PC after password setup Once you have set an administrator password, a password window appears and you are prompted to enter the password when you call the BIOS setup. Enter the password and press the [Enter] key. After you have set a user password, the user is prompted to enter the password when he or she starts the PC. Enter the password and press the [Enter] key. If you have selected the Security - System Password Mode during BIOS setup and you have set the System Password Mode option to Keyboard, a user can start up the OS on the PC but the keyboard and mouse of the PC are locked out. The user cannot operate the PC (the keyboard indicators blink one after the other). Although the password window is NOT displayed, you can enter the password. When you enter the password and press the [Enter] key, the PC is unlocked. Enter Password If an incorrect password is entered three times in succession, the PC beeps and the System Disabled message appears. The PC rejects any more request from the keyboard. If it occurs, turn off the PC power supply by holding down the PC power switch more than four (4) seconds. Wait for more than 10 seconds, and restart the PC and enter the correct password. If you have defined a password from the numeric keypad, you must always enter the password from the numeric keypad after the next startup. Changing or deleting a password Changing a password To change a password, shift the cursor to the Administrator password setting or User password setting. Then, enter the current password and enter a new password two times. Deleting a password To delete a password, shift the cursor to the Administrator password setting or User password setting. Then, enter the current password and press the [Enter] key without entering a new password. If you delete the administrator password, its user passwords are also deleted. If you forget the password If you cannot remember the administrator password, you cannot start up the PC and you cannot call the BIOS setup. In such case, the PC must be repaired. Contact a Fujitsu Service Center or your retailer. 25
