Lock Status Panel
The HMC can lock out the front panel, when necessary, to prevent the
user from pressing the power button or the reset button at an
inopportune time (while the firmware flash update is in process). The
BIOS also has this capability. This is because there are two separate
flash update utilities: one to update the BIOS flash device, and another
to update the HMC flash device. The BIOS and firmware flash utilities
utilities are packaged together in the BIOS/firmware flash update
package at www.hp.com/workstations/support.
BIOS Configuration Tokens
Some CMOS tokens are backed up to NVRAM (serial eeprom). They can
be modified by TopTools, and the BIOS is in charge of synchronization.
Once the system has booted, a valid password must be entered to access
tokens, provided that passwords have been set in the Setup program.
User and administrator passwords give different rights.
