5. Under Enable/Disable DriveLock options, select Enable, and then press F10 to enable DriveLock
for a specific drive.
CAUTION: Forgetting the DriveLock password renders the drive unusable.
6. Enter a new user password, and then press F10 to accept. This password may be 1 to 32 characters
long.
7. Enter the password again in the Enter New Password Again field. If you forget this password, the
drive is rendered permanently disabled.
8. Select File>Save Changes and Exit, and then press F10. After you press F10, the system
performs a cold boot before invoking the DriveLock function.
You can also use this process to set the DriveLock master password by selecting Master in Step 5.
When the workstation starts, you are prompted to enter the DriveLock password for each DriveLock-
capable drive for which you have set a password. You have two attempts to enter the password correctly.
If the password is not entered correctly, the workstation attempts to boot anyway. However, the boot
process most likely fails because data from a locked drive cannot be accessed.
In a single drive workstation, if the drive has DriveLock enabled, the workstation might not be able to
boot to the operating system, and might try to boot from the network or from another storage device
(depending on the boot ordering options). Regardless of the outcome of the boot attempts, the drive-
locked drive remains inaccessible without the DriveLock password.
In a two-drive workstation that has a boot drive and a data drive, you can apply the DriveLock feature
to the data drive only. In this case, the workstation can always boot, but the data drive is accessible only
when the DriveLock password is entered.
Cold boots require that you enter DriveLock passwords. However, DriveLock passwords are also
required for warm boots. For example, if you boot to DOS and press Ctrl+Alt+Del, you must enter the
DriveLock password before the workstation completes the next boot cycle. This warm-boot behavior is
consistent with the DriveLock feature.
Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) (optional)
The optional Hood Sensor is a combination of hardware and software technology that can alert you
when the workstation side access panel has been removed (if the sensor has been configured in the
Computer Setup (F10) Utility). The three levels of Hood Sensor protection are shown in the following
table:
Table 3-4 Hood Sensor protection levels
Level Setting Description
Level 0 Disabled Hood Sensor* is disabled (default).
Level 1 Notify User When the workstation restarts, a message appears indicating that the
workstation side access panel has been removed.
Level 2 Setup Password When the workstation is restarted, a message appears indicating that the
workstation side access panel has been removed. You must enter the setup
password to continue.
* Hood Sensor settings can be changed using the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
