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:
❑
Supervisor Password secures your computer against
unauthorized use and prevents unauthorized access to
certain sections of the Setup Utility. Once set, you must
key-in this password to set certain parameters in the
Setup Utility. See “Setup Utility” on page 83 for details.
❑
User Password secures your computer against
unauthorized use.
