The Chassis Intrusion option in system setup displays the status of the

4 Press the down-arrow key to move to the Chassis Intrusion option.
5 Press the spacebar to select an option setting.
Option settings:
• Enabled — When the computer cover is opened, a DMI event is
generated, the setting changes to Detected, and the following message
appears at the next system start-up:
Alert! Cover was previously removed.
To reset the Detected setting, enter system setup. In the Chassis
Intrusion option, press the left- or right-arrow key to select Reset, and
then choose Enabled, Enabled-Silent, or Disabled.
• Enabled-Silent (the default) — When the computer cover is opened,
a DMI event is generated and the setting changes to Detected, but the
alert message does not appear at the next system start-up.
• Disabled — No intrusion monitoring occurs and no messages appear.
NOTE: When the setup password is enabled, you must know the setup
password before you can reset the Chassis Intrusion option.
