SUBJECT : Network Server Mode on Compaq
DATE : 6/5/90
FYI # : 060590km1
OS VERSION : NetWare 386 v3.0
REVISION :
SHELL VERSION :
GENERAL INFORMATION : When Compaq introduced their new design for the
Deskpro, they added the "power-on password" feature and the "network server
mode" feature. This applies to the Deskpro 386s, 386 20e, 386/20, 386 25e,
386/25, 386/33, the Systempro and the Deskpro 486/25. The power-on password
work identical to IBM's implementation on the PS/2 systems. The network server
mode allows the machine to boot from the hard disk but will not accept
keyboard input until the password is entered.
If this feature is to be used with NetWare 386, server.exe must NOT be
called from an autoexec.bat file on drive "C:." If it is, the it will not
be possible to enter in the password or any other keyboard input. This is
because NetWare 386 controls the keyboard at that point.
If it is desired to disable the keyboard, either use the key switch on the
machine or use the "console lock" feature in "monitor.nlm."
