2.10 Securing your Notebook
Security features include hardware and software locks — a security notch
and a two-level password scheme.
2.10.1 Security Notch
A security notch located on the left panel of the notebook lets you connect a
standard key-based computer security lock.
Circle or wrap a computer security
lock cable around an immovable
object such as a table or locked
drawer handle. Then insert the lock
into the notch and turn the key to
secure the lock.
2.10.2 System Resource Lock
A two-level password scheme protects your notebook from unauthorized
access. When set, just press
-s to lock all system resources. In this
situation, no one can access the notebook without entering the correct
password.
For information on how to set passwords, see section 6.6.1.
