Because locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate the cover lock keys, you must
order replacement keys from the key manufacturer. When ordering replacement
keys, you will need the key code number.
You can also set a chassis-intrusion detector inside your computer to alert the
system administrator each time the computer cover is removed. For more
information about setting the chassis-intrusion alert, see “Chapter 4. Configuring
your computer” on page 27.
Component protection
Your computer has components with serial numbers that can be registered with a
third-party security company. (You can also register the entire system.) By
registering computer components, you can improve the chances of identifying the
components if they are ever stolen and recovered. For more information about
component registration, see the IBM support page at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/desktop/assetid/ on the World Wide Web.
Data protection
You can lose data from the hard disk drive for a variety of reasons. Security
violations, viruses, or hard disk drive failures can all contribute to data loss. To
help protect against the loss of valuable information, IBM has incorporated a
data-saving feature in your computer.
Virus protection
Your computer has built-in virus protection that can be enabled through the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. This built-in protection only checks for
viruses in the boot record. Also, Norton AntiVirus for IBM is available on the IBM
Software Selections CD. For more information on how to use the Software Selections
CD, see “Appendix A. Using the Software Selections CD” on page 109.
