7.9 DriveLock/Automatic DriveLock Menu
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. Some earlier generations of systems do not support DriveLock on NVMe storage devices.

 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.
