Hard Drive Security

Your NEC PowerMate 2000 system allows establishing password protection for the internal hard drive. Hard disk drive (HDD) password protection restricts access to the drive only if the drive is removed from the PowerMate 2000 system and installed in another system. The system does not prompt you to enter your HDD passwords while the drive remains in the current system. The HDD passwords are written to the system BIOS and to the hard drive to ensure that the password protection travels with the drive if it is moved to another system.
Establishing Hard Disk Drive Passwords
To establish password protection for the systems hard drive, you must establish a master password, establish a user password, and enable the established passwords for the internal hard drive. Use the following procedure to establish HDD passwords and to enable HDD password protection.
If you set the master and user password on a hard drive, you can never remove the passwords. You can change the passwords. If you forget the master password and install the drive in another system, you cannot access the data on the hard drive. Once you set these passwords, NEC Computers Inc. has no capability of removing them. If you install the hard drive in another PowerMate system with hard disk drive security enabled, you must enter the password to allow access to the hard drive. If this PowerMate system does not support hard disk drive security, you cannot access the data on the hard drive. 1. 2. 3.
Boot your system. Press F2 when prompted to enter BIOS Setup. The Main Menu screen appears. Using the arrow keys, select the Security Menu. Use the down arrow key to highlight Assign HDD Password and press Enter. The system prompts you to enter a master password.
Enter a master HDD password and press Enter. The system prompts you to reenter the password to verify. Reenter the master HDD password and press Enter. The system confirms the creation of the master password and prompts you to enter a user password. Enter a user password and press Enter. The system prompts you to reenter the password to verify. Reenter the user password and press Enter. Highlight and select Primary Master HDD Password. Use the + (plus) and (minus) keys to enable the selection. (This enables password protection for the internal HDD.)

6. 7. 8.

Changing Hard Disk Drive Passwords
Use the following procedure to change hard disk drive passwords.

1. 2. 3.

Boot your system. Press F2 when prompted to enter BIOS Setup. At the Main Menu screen, select the Security Menu. Highlight Assign HDD Password and press Enter.
If you enter the current master password, you are prompted to enter a new master password. If you enter the current user password, you are prompted to enter a new user password. If you do not want to establish a new master or user password, press Esc instead of entering a new password.
Save the changes and exit BIOS Setup.
Using Hard Disk Drive Password Protection
To facilitate the transfer of one or more HDDs between systems, establish a single master password and store the password in a secure place. Forgetting the master password results in the inability to access the data on the hard drive. Establish different user passwords to limit access to specific systems.
3-26 Configuring the System
If you set the master and user password on a hard drive, you can never remove the passwords. You can change the passwords. If you forget the master password and install the drive in another system, you cannot access the data on the hard drive. Once you set these passwords, NEC Computers Inc. has no capability of removing them. If you install the hard drive in another PowerMate system with hard disk drive security enabled, you must enter the password to allow access to the hard drive. If this PowerMate system does not support hard disk drive security, you cannot access the data on the hard drive.
With hard disk drive security enabled on the original NEC PowerMate 2000 system, the system boots normally. If you install the hard drive in another NEC PowerMate system with security enabled, you must enter the master password to access the hard drive. If the hard drive is installed in another NEC PowerMate 2000 system with security disabled, the system prompts you to enter the master password and then a new user password.

Moving the Hard Drive

When a password protected hard drive is moved from its original system and installed in another system, error messages appear indicating that the drive is locked. Next, the Security Setup screen appears requiring the user to enter the master password to unlock the drive. Enter the master password, when prompted. To take advantage of HDD password protection in another system, the system must be equipped with the same HDD password protection feature. To determine if the system has HDD password protection, check the Security Menu in the BIOS Setup to see if there are provisions for establishing HDD passwords.

FLASH Utility

The system BIOS resides on a flash read only memory (ROM) chip in your system. The FLASH ROM can be updated using the following procedure. Before starting the BIOS update, we recommend that you first contact NEC Computers for assistance (see Chapter 6 for contact information). Update the FLASH ROM with a BIOS FLASH diskette. The diskette contains the latest version of the BIOS code. You can get the diskette from NEC Computers or download the BIOS from the NEC Computers web site. See Chapter 6 for download and web site information. Update the BIOS from the BIOS FLASH diskette as follows.

You can add multiple USB devices in several ways:
T add two devices, one to each USB port on the right side of the system T add multiple devices to each port by daisy-chaining each device to the next device T add multiple devices to each port through an optional multiple-port hub(s).
Adding Expansion Devices 4-3
Connecting USB devices is easy. You dont need to turn off the system to connect or disconnect the devices. Simply match the connectors on the USB cable to the USB port on your system and the port on the USB device, then plug in the cable. For multiple USB devices, plug the USB cable on the new device into a free USB port on the existing device (many devices come with two or more ports). Most USB devices do not need a separate power source as they draw their power from the system. Some high power devices (for example, USB hubs and amplified speakers) might need their own power supplies.

PC Cards

Your system supports Type II and Type III PC Cards for extending system capabilities. All cards have a standard 68-pin connector. Type II PC Cards are often storage or communication devices such as Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Flash Memory, modem, and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). Some PC Cards are Type II extended cards. The extended card has an additional physical component that protrudes beyond the normal card size. The extension provides room for additional electronics as well as a location for external connectors. Type III PC Cards are thicker than Type II PC Cards and allow no extensions. Type III PC Card uses include advanced function cards with additional features such as multimode cards (such as a combined modem and LAN card) and small hard drive storage.
