Locking the Computer
The key lock on the front panel allows you to lock the cover on the
computer and disable the keyboard and the
RESET
button for
security. This provides a safeguard against someone accessing
confidential information or altering your computer’s internal
hardware.
For example, you may want to lock the computer while you are
running an application program that features a screen demonstration
that should not be interrupted. When the computer is locked, it
ignores anything typed on the keyboard.
You can lock the computer whether the power is on or off. To lock it,
insert the key with the notch pointing up, as shown in the following
illustration. Then, while pressing the key in slightly, turn it clockwise
to the
LOCK
position.
