Enabling QuickLock/QuickBlank allows you to temporarily disable the
keyboard and clear the screen until the power-on password is entered.
After you have enabled QuickLock/QuickBlank, you can initiate it at any
time by pressing the Fn+F6 hotkeys.
When QuickLock/QuickBlank is initiated, the key icon on the status panel
turns on. Type your power-on password on the blank screen to exit

Disabling Devices
The Security Menu provides a way to disable the following devices:
o Serial and infrared ports
o Parallel port
o PC Card slots
o Diskette drive
Disabling these devices prevents the unauthorized transfer of data using
the devices. Disabling the infrared port also conserves power. To reenable
a device, deselect the Disable option and restart the computer.

o Save and Exit: Saves configuration changes, but some changes do not take
effect until the computer is restarted.
o Exit (No Save): Exits and does not save the changes you have made.
o Restore Factory Defaults: Replaces the current configuration settings
with the original factory default settings.
