Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for selectively enabling a power-on password. A password module stores the power-on password for a blade server. A test module determines if a power-on policy is satisfied. An access module grants access to the blade server if the power-on policy is not satisfied. If the power-on policy is satisfied, the access module may deny access to the blade server until the power-on password is received. In one embodiment, the power-on policy is satisfied if the blade server is removed from a first blade enclosure and inserted in a second blade enclosure.
