SECURITY MENU – SETTING THE SECURITY FEATURES
The Security menu allows you to set up the data security features of your notebook to fit operating needs and to view
the current data security configuration. (See Navigating through the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
The following tables show the names of the menu fields for the Security Menu and its submenus, all the options for
each field, the default settings and a description of the field's function and any special information needed to help
understand the field's use. The default condition is no passwords required and no write protection.
Remember your passwords! If you set and forget your User and Master hard disk passwords, Fujitsu
America will not be able to reset it. You may lose data and have to replace your system board or hard disk
drive.
WARNING. VERY IMPORTANT if your hard disk drive is protected using a Full Disk Encryption (FDE)
"engine". FDE encrypts all data as it is written to the hard drive. When data is retrieved from the hard
drive, it is decrypted by the same engine. If you forget your hard disk security password on a system with
FDE, all data and applications on the hard drive will remain encrypted and will effectively be lost. Be
sure to remember your hard disk password.
Entering a password incorrectly 3 times in a row causes the keyboard and mouse to be locked out and
[System Disabled] to be displayed. If this occurs, restart the computer by turning off and on the power
with the power switch and use the correct password on reboot.
If you make an error when re-entering the password a Warning will be displayed. To try again press
[Enter], then retype the password, or press [Esc] to abort the password process.
If the Security Panel on Resume is Enabled and the Password on Boot is Disabled you will not have to
type your password upon resuming the system from the Suspend or Save-to-Disk modes. Power Man-
agement Security will work only if Password boot is enabled.

BOOT MENU – SELECTING THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE
The Boot Menu is used to select the order in which the
BIOS searches sources for the operating system. Follow
the instructions for Navigating Through the Setup
Utility to make any changes. (See Navigating through
the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
The following table shows devices associated with your
notebook and the order in which they will be searched
for the boot device.
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the CD-ROM is used,
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used,
the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal
hard drive is not present or disabled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted
internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the hard drive.The boot
sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during the
startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and
then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is
not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to
save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility by either going to the Exit Menu and
choosing Exit Saving Changes, or pressing F10 and choosing Yes to Save and Exit.

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be
overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
