I'll head over to the site now.
Some info from the manual;
Security panel
The security panel enables you to protect your notebook from unauthorised use with a 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. This ensures a high level of
security even with the energy-saving mode activated.
BIOS password protection
You can protect you personal data from unauthorised access with various passwords. By combining
these different options, you can achieve maximum protection for your system.
Password protection for the BIOS setup
With the Supervisor password you prevent unauthorised opening of the BIOS Setup, and with it
access to important system settings. In the BIOS Setup you can also activate protection for the
operating system and your hard disk.
Password protection for the operating system
With corresponding settings in the BIOS Setup you can block starting of the operating system. Only
those who know the supervisor or user password can access the system.
Password protection for your hard disk
By activating the hard disk protection in the BIOS Setup you prevent unauthorised access to the hard
disk drive. The hard disk password is checked internally during each system start-up and ensures
that the hard disk can only be used in conjunction with the related device.
