3.5 Smart Cover Sensor (Optional)
Smart Cover Sensor is a combination of hardware and software technology that can alert you
when the workstation cover or side panel has been removed. There are three levels of protection,
as described in the following table.
Setting the Smart Cover Sensor Protection Level
To set the Smart Cover Sensor protection level, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on or restart the workstation. If you are in Windows, click Start > Shut Down >
Restart the Computer.
2. Press the
F10
key as soon as the monitor light turns green. Press
Enter
to bypass the title
screen, if necessary.
✎
If you do not press the
F10
key at the appropriate time, you must turn the workstation off, then
on again, and press the
F10

Smart Cover Lock (Optional)
The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock featured on select HP workstations.
This lock prevents unauthorized access to the internal components. Workstations ship with the
