On the Sun Ray 2fs unit press the (Stop-M) on Sun Keyboard and on the PC keyboards press the (Ctrl-Pause-M or S).
If you are not prompted for a password to enter the firmware configuration, this is a finding. To configure the password, select Security, Password, and type in the password. Make sure it is compliant with DoD password policies.

Caveat: If the (Stop-M) on the Sun keyboard or the (Ctrl-Pause-M or S) on the PC keyboards does not bring up the pop-up firmware-gui, then the pop-up function is disabled for this firmware and this is not applicable.

Note: For other Sun Ray Desktop Units, consult the system administrator or documentation for the key mode combinations.
