Securing your Computer

Security features include hardware and software locks — a
security notch and a two-level password scheme.

Security Notch

A security notch located on the rear panel of the computer
lets you connect a Kensington-compatible key-based
computer security lock.
Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable
object such as a table or locked drawer handle. Insert the
lock into the notch and turn the key to secure the lock.

Passwords

A two-level password scheme protects your computer from
unauthorized access. When set, no one can access the
computer without entering the correct password.
There are two types of passwords you can set:
Setup Password secures your computer against
unauthorized entry to and use of the BIOS Utility.
Power-On Password secures your computer against
unauthorized use.
