AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1704          05/20/97 
 
 
 
TITLE:  Ascentia P, Password, Suspend
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   Ascentia P systems do not request a password upon resuming from a 
   "system suspend" even if a password is enabled in CMOS Setup. 
   
   This issue affects all Ascentia P systems.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   The user's manual erroneously states that the system prompts for 
   a password on resuming from suspend when in fact it does not. The 
   system was never designed to do this.    

 
ACTION 
 
   No action is required. The system is operating as designed.    

 
NOTES 
 
   N/A
