Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption Step-by-Step Guide” on the Microsoft Web site.
Encryption solid-state drive
Some models contain the Encryption solid-state drive or Encryption hybrid drive. This encryption technology
helps to protect your computer against security attacks on media, NAND flash, or device controllers by use
of a hardware encryption chip. For the efficient use of the encryption feature, set a hard disk password for
the internal storage drive.
Setting the security chip
Strict security requirements are imposed on network client computers that transfer confidential information
electronically. Depending on the options you ordered, your computer might have an embedded security chip
(a cryptographic microprocessor). With the security chip, you can do the following:
• Protect your data and system
• Strengthen access controls
• Secure communications
Before you start, print these instructions.
To set an item on the
Security Chip
submenu, do the following:
1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 to start the ThinkPad Setup program.
2. Select
Security
➙
Security Chip
by using the directional keys.
3. Press Enter. The
Security Chip
submenu opens.
4. Move to an item you want to set by using the directional keys. When the item is highlighted, press Enter.
5. Set other items that you want to set.
6. Press F10. A Setup Confirmation window is displayed. Select
Yes
to save the configuration changes and
exit.
Notes:
• Ensure that the supervisor password has been set in ThinkPad Setup. Otherwise anyone can change the
settings for the security chip.
• When you clear the security chip, turn off your computer and then turn it on again after you set the security
chip to
Active
. Otherwise, the
Clear Security Chip
option is not displayed.
Using the fingerprint reader
Depending on the model, your computer might have a fingerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can
replace your passwords, such as the Windows password, power-on password, and hard disk password. In
this way, you can log in to your computer simply and securely.
Enrolling your fingerprints
To enable fingerprint authentication, enroll your fingerprints first. During the enrollment, the fingerprints are
associated with the Windows password automatically. It is recommended that you enroll more than one
fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers.
To enroll your fingerprints, do the following:
1. Open the Start menu and then click
Settings
➙
Accounts
➙
Sign-in options
.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish the enrollment.
