Using Security Features
To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can lock the cover and
keyboard.
Locking the Cover
Your computer comes with a built in padlock loop. You can use this loop
to lock the cover to your computer with a padlock.
Locking the Keyboard
You can disable the keyboard so that others are unable to use it. If a
power-on password is set, the keyboard is locked when you turn on the
computer. You must type the correct password before the keyboard will
unlock. You can enable the power-on password feature with the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program. See Chapter 5, “Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 29.
Some operating systems have a keyboard and mouse lock-up feature.
Check the documentation that comes with your operating system for more
information.
Using a Security U-Bolt
Optionally, you can install a security U-bolt on the back of your computer
to keep your computer bolted to the location you have selected for your
computer. For instructions on installing a security U-bolt, see “Installing a
Security U-bolt” on page 77.
