Property and data protection Your notebook enables you to protect your system and personal data in a number of ways against unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system. Security panel a a = Security panel The security panel enables you to protect your notebook from unauthorised use with a hardware password. When a Security Panel password is activated, the notebook will not start without the correct insertion of a password. The password is entered before the BIOS is read out and the hardware activated. The password is requested from all suspend and resume modes. As a result, a security level is also provided with the energy-saving mode activated. The Security Lock function can be used when the notebook is started from the Resume mode, when switched off and from the Save-to-Disk mode. Password protection of Save-to-RAM Mode is also supported. This function can be deactivated in the BIOS Setup. In the Security Panel on Resume menu the default value is set to Enable at the factory. It is possible to assign a supervisor password and a user password. i If you have forgotten your user password, you can use the supervisor password to reset the user password, and you can then enter a new user password. If the security panel is active and you have forgotten both passwords, please contact your our Hotline/Help Desk. The supervisor password must be set so that the notebook can be unlocked again, and so that a new user password can be assigned when the existing one has been forgotten.

No passwords are assigned when the notebook is delivered. The passwords can be assigned with the FJSECS.EXE (supervisor password) and FJSECU.EXE (user password) programmes. The supervisor password and the user password can be assigned with up to 4 key entries. Multiple keys (1+2) can be used together as one key entry. The supervisor password has to be set before the user password can be assigned. i Assigning a supervisor password The setup programme can be found under Start - AddOn Software. Enter the programme name FJSECS.EXE under Start - Run. Click on OK. Follow the instructions of the programme. Assigning a user password The setup programme can be found under Start - AddOn Software. Enter the programme name FJSECU.EXE under Start - Run. Click on OK. Follow the instructions of the programme. Examples of possible password combinations

"1" + Enter

"1" + "2" + Enter

"1" + "2" + "3" + Enter

"1" + "2" + "3" + "4" + Enter

("1"+"2") + ("1" + "2" + "3" ) + ("1" + "2" + "3" + "4" ) + "1" + "2" + Enter i

("1" + "2") means that the key "1" and "2" must be pressed simultaneously.

"Enter" refers to the Enter key of the Security Panel under the LCD screen. Password error alarm If a password is entered incorrectly three times, a one-minute alarm is triggered. If the correct password is entered during the alarm, the notebook starts up normally. After one minute the notebook stops the alarm. The user must press the Suspend/Resume key to start or enter the Resume mode. After pressing the Suspend/Resume button, the notebook is locked again; the user must now enter the correct user password again. If the entry is correct, the notebook will start.

Security functions under Windows Under Windows you can activate a screen saver and protect it with a password. Only those users who know the password can deactivate the screen saver and access any open files. BIOS Setup security functions The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data against unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.

Access protection with SICRYPT PC Lock With SICRYPT PC Lock you can protect your system from unauthorised booting. Then a system can only be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her personal code number (PIN). To use PC Lock you require the following components:

External or internal SmartCard reader PC Lock installed (see manual "BIOS Setup") SICRYPT SmartCard i There are two different SmartCards - the Admin SmartCard and the User SmartCard. These differ in their memory capacity. In addition to the access permissions, you can also save other safety options on the Admin SmartCard (e.g. fingerprints with the Smarty 2 software). PC Lock controls access to your PC. When a SmartCard is initialised, permissions are assigned for system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several SmartCards for one system and initialise them with different permissions. In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the same permissions. Additional instructions for PC Lock i Do not use PC Lock on systems controlled by tele-maintenance. If a SmartCard is inserted and the User PIN must be entered, an automatic system boot is blocked. For example, this is the case with "Wake On LAN", or when software is to be installed via the network that requires a system reboot. After you have initialised the first SmartCard, the entry PC-Lock can no longer be deactivated (Disabled) in the BIOS Setup. If you also want to use other security software in addition to PC Lock (e.g. SmartGuard Pro), please read the documentation on your security software beforehand.

PC Lock permissions You can initialise a SmartCard with one of the following permissions:

System Setup System+Setup The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can change the user PIN. You can open and change the BIOS Setup and change the user PIN. The system starts following entry of the user PIN. You can open and change the BIOS Setup and change the user PIN. The system starts following entry of the user PIN.

The notebook must be switched off when installing/removing the memory modules and may not be in the Suspend mode. So that the current data can be saved in the Save to Disk suspend mode, sufficient memory space must be available on the hard disk (at least the size of the main memory +16 Mbytes). Install only memory expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules governing safety, RFI and electromagnetic compatibility and relating to telecommunications terminal equipment (see the chapter "! 5"). Use only memory expansions which have been released for your notebook (64, 128, and 256 Mbyte modules, SD RAM, JEDEC 144 pin SO DIMM, 3.3 V). Never use force when installing or removing memory modules. Make sure that foreign objects do not fall into the memory module compartment. The main memory of your notebook can be expanded to a maximum of 512 Mbyte with another memory module. The notebook will not start without memory modules, as no fixed main memory is installed.
