Access Connections

location prole stores all the network and Internet conguration settings needed for connecting to a network
infrastructure from a specic location such as a home or an ofce.
By switching between location proles as you move your computer from place to place, you can quickly and
easily connect to a network with no need to recongure your settings manually and restart the computer
each time.
Active Protection System
The Active Protection System protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your computer
detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The hard
disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating; so the system stops it from spinning, and
may also move the read/write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock
sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it
turns the hard disk drive on.

The Client Security Solution program helps protect your computer and your personal information so that
you know that your sensitive data is secure. It can also help manage your passwords, help recover a
