DriveLock prevents unauthorized access to the contents of a selected hard drive. Enter a password to access the drive and
the drive is accessible only when attached to a PC.
NOTE: DriveLock states cannot change after a warm reboot for SATA drives. Power off the system and then boot directly to
the BIOS setup to access these menus. The DriveLock Master/Administrator and User passwords cannot be changed if you
enable Automatic DriveLock.

 Automatic DriveLock
Setting
This feature is intended to prevent someone from accessing
data on your drive after they have physically removed it from
your system. A BIOS administrator password is required for
this feature.
When this feature is enabled, the BIOS sets a randomly
generated user password, sets the master password with the
BIOS administrator password, and marks the drive as a
member of an Automatic DriveLock group.
Thereafter, the BIOS automatically unlocks the drive while it is
attached to the its host system. If the drive is physically
removed from its host system and attached to another
system, the user is prompted for the DriveLock password. The
user must provide the BIOS administrator password from the
original host system to access the drive.
