Wake on Ring
The Wake on Ring feature can be used to turn on your computer when a
Wake on Ring-supported modem receives a call from the telephone line to
which it is connected. You can configure this feature using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Using security features
To help protect your computer hardware and software, you can use the
security features mentioned here.
Using a padlock loop
Some models come with a built-in padlock loop. Use this loop to lock the
cover to your computer with a padlock.
Using a security U-bolt
With the optional security U-bolt and a steel cable, you can secure your
computer to a desk, table, or other fixture. This helps protect against theft.
For instructions on installing a security U-bolt, see “Installing a security
U-bolt” on page 94.
Diskette write-protect switch
To help deter software and data theft, you can set the diskette write-protect
switch on the system board to prevent writing data to diskettes. See
“Setting the diskette write-protect switch” on page 78 for instructions on
setting this switch.
SMART III hard disk drive
Your computer comes with a SMART III (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and
Reporting Technology) hard disk drive that is enabled to report potential
hard disk failures. If an error is detected, a DMI-compliant warning
message is sent to the computer screen and, if the computer is part of a
network, to an administrator console. Once an error is detected, the data on
the hard disk can be backed up and the drive replaced.
