Other options for “Type:” are:

After using the legend keys to make your selections on this sub-menu, press

the <Esc> key to exit back to the Main menu. When the Main menu ap-

pears, you will notice that the drive size appear in the field for the hard disk

drive that you just configured.

Language [English]

This allows selection of the displayed language of the BIOS utility. Currently

only English is available.

Supervisor Password [Disabled], User Password [Disabled]

These fields allow you to set the system passwords. To set any of the passwords,

select the appropriate field and press <Enter>.

Type in a password and press <Enter>. You can type up to eight alphanumeric char-

acters. Symbols and other keys are ignored. To confirm the password, type the pass-

word again and press <Enter>. The password is now set to [Enabled]. When [En-

abled], a Supervisor password is required to access the BIOS setup utility and all

security menu options while a User password is required to access the computer

system.

To clear either password, select the appropriate field and press <Enter>. Press <En-

ter> again when a dialog box appears. This sets the password field to [Disabled].

A Note about Passwords

The passwords are not case sensitive. In other words, it makes no difference whether

you enter a password using upper- or lowercase letters.

The BIOS Setup program allows you to specify two separate passwords: a Supervisor

password and a User password. When either is disabled, anyone may access all BIOS

Setup program functions.
