Tips on using the security chip
• Ensure that the supervisor password has been set in ThinkPad Setup. Otherwise anyone can change the
settings for the security chip.
• If you are using Client Security Solution, handle the security chip by doing the following:
– Do not clear the security chip. If you do, the functions assigned to the keys will be erased.
– Do not disable the security chip. If you do, Client Security Solution will not work.
• If the security chip is removed or replaced, or a new one has been added, the computer will not start. You
will hear four cycles of four beeps each, or you will see error message 0176 or 0192.
• If the security chip is inactive or disabled, the Clear Security Chip option will not be displayed.
• When you clear the security chip, turn off your computer and then turn it on again after you set the
security chip to Active. Otherwise, the Clear Security Chip option is not displayed.
Using the ngerprint reader
Depending on the model, your computer might have a ngerprint reader. Fingerprint authentication can
replace your passwords, such as the Windows password, power-on password, and hard disk password. In
this way, you can log on to your computer simply and securely.
To enable ngerprint authentication, enroll your ngerprints rst. During the enrollment, the ngerprints are
associated with the Windows password automatically. To associate your ngerprints with your power-on
password and hard disk password, manually create a connection.
Enrolling your ngerprints
To enroll your ngerprints, do the following:
1. Start the Fingerprint Manager Pro program. For instructions on how to start the Fingerprint Manager Pro
program, see “Lenovo programs” on page 14.
2. Enter the Windows password as required.
3. Click the icon for the nger that you want to enroll, and constantly swipe your corresponding nger
across the ngerprint reader until the enrollment completes. For more information, see “Swiping your
nger over the ngerprint reader” on page 54.
4. Click Finish. Your ngerprint is enrolled successfully.
Note: It is recommended that you enroll more than one ngerprint in case of any injuries to your ngers.
