Before You Begin
What You
Should Do
First
Before making your system secure, determine who will have
access to privileged commands once you enable the security
feature. Whoever requires privileged access to the system will
need to know the password that you enter.
If your operating system is running, use the shutdown
procedures in your operating system documentation to shut
it down (see Table 7–3 for available documentation).
Place your system in console mode by pressing the halt button
after the operating system is shut down.
