Property and Data Protection
Software functions and mechanical locking offer a broad range of functions for protecting your
PC and your personal data from unauthorised access. You can also combine these functions.
Anti-theft protection
There are two ways to protect your PC from theft:
●
with a chain and the eyelet (1)
●
with the Kensington Lock device (2) and with a Kensington MicroSaver
To prevent unauthorised persons from opening the casing, the casing can be sealed. To do this,
use the eye on the top cover (1) and the eye on the back of the casing (2).
You can also attach a padlock to the eye (1) to prevent unauthorised opening of the casing.
Access Protection Under Windows
Under MS-Windows you can activate a screen saver and protect it with a password. Only those
users who know the password can deactivate the screen saver and access any open files. Detailed
information on screen savers is provided by the associated help function.
BIOS Setup Security Functions
The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data
against unauthorised access, e.g.:
●
Preventing unauthorised BIOS Setup entry
●
Preventing unauthorised system access
●
Preventing unauthorised access to the settings of boards with their own BIOS
●
Preventing system booting from the diskette drive
●
Preventing unauthorised writing of diskettes
●
Protecting BIOS from being overwritten
You can also combine these functions.
